As a writable mount, it is not expected for overlayfs to return EINVAL/EROFS for fsync, even if dir/file is not changed. This commit fixes the case of fsync of directory, which is easier to address, because overlayfs already implements fsync file operation for directories. The problem reported by Raphael is that new PostgreSQL 10.0 with a database in overlayfs where lower layer in squashfs fails to start. The failure is due to fsync error, when PostgreSQL does fsync on all existing db directories on startup and a specific directory exists lower layer with no changes.

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.
