commita725356b66upstream. Commit031a072a0b("vfs: call vfs_clone_file_range() under freeze protection") created a wrapper do_clone_file_range() around vfs_clone_file_range() moving the freeze protection to former, so overlayfs could call the latter. The more common vfs practice is to call do_xxx helpers from vfs_xxx helpers, where freeze protecction is taken in the vfs_xxx helper, so this anomality could be a source of confusion. It seems that commit8ede205541("ovl: add reflink/copyfile/dedup support") may have fallen a victim to this confusion - ovl_clone_file_range() calls the vfs_clone_file_range() helper in the hope of getting freeze protection on upper fs, but in fact results in overlayfs allowing to bypass upper fs freeze protection. Swap the names of the two helpers to conform to common vfs practice and call the correct helpers from overlayfs and nfsd.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
