Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v3 4/5] ovl: Keep creator VE in overlayfs superblock
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 10:24:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103-ovl-use-orig-ve-v3-4-add042cdd087@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103-ovl-use-orig-ve-v3-0-add042cdd087@virtuozzo.com>
Overlayfs superblock stores creator creds in it, but these creds
should go together with the VE they were taken from.
Store the VE in the superblock. We can't use mount->owner_ve,
because several mounts can reference one superblock.
