ovl: upper fs should not be R/O After importing multi-lower layer support, users could mount a r/o partition as the left most lowerdir instead of using it as upperdir. And a r/o upperdir may cause an error like overlayfs: failed to create directory ./workdir/work during mount. This patch check the *s_flags* of upper fs and return an error if it is a r/o partition. The checking of *upper_mnt->mnt_sb->s_flags* can be removed now. This patch also remove /* FIXME: workdir is not needed for a R/O mount */ from ovl_fill_super() because: 1) for upper fs r/o case Setting a r/o partition as upper is prevented, no need to care about workdir in this case. 2) for "mount overlay -o ro" with a r/w upper fs case Users could remount overlayfs to r/w in this case, so workdir should not be omitted.
