But I wonder how many such issues we have where > discrepancy between f_path.dentry and file_inode() matters. OTOH, any such issues should already have surfaced. Just need to be careful when reverting VFS patches that they don't regress in the face of f_path containing the overlay path. So we are probably better to keep using overlay path in real file universally, just to keep the code simpler. Thanks, Miklos
