ovl: enable RCU'd ->get_acl()
Overlayfs does not cache ACL's (to avoid double caching). Instead it just calls the underlying filesystem's i_op->get_acl(), which will return the cached value, if possible. In rcu path walk, however, get_cached_acl_rcu() is employed to get the value from the cache, which will fail on overlayfs resulting in dropping out of rcu walk mode. This can result in a big performance hit in certain situations. Fix by calling ->get_acl() with rcu=true in case of ACL_DONT_CACHE (which indicates pass-through) Reported-by: garyhuang <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <[email protected]>
