Implement file operations on a regular overlay file. The underlying file is opened separately and cached in ->private_data. It might be worth making an exception for such files when accounting in nr_file to confirm to userspace expectations. We are only adding a small overhead (248bytes for the struct file) since the real inode and dentry are pinned by overlayfs anyway. This patch doesn't have any effect, since the vfs will use d_real() to find the real underlying file to open. The patch at the end of the series will actually enable this functionality. AV: make it use open_with_fake_path(), don't mess with override_creds SzM: still need to mess with override_creds() until no fs uses current_cred() in their open method.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
