[PATCH stable/linux-5.10.y 1/7] ovl: pass layer mnt to ovl_open_realfile()

From: Cai Xinchen <hidden>
Date: 2026-06-29 06:38:55
Also in: bpf, linux-fsdevel, linux-unionfs, lkml, selinux, stable
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), overlay filesystem, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Miklos Szeredi, Amir Goldstein, Linus Torvalds

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 1248ea4b91bcdafefdb025087e67d58382cfc9eb ]

Ensure that ovl_open_realfile() takes the mount's idmapping into
account. We add a new helper ovl_path_realdata() that can be used to
easily retrieve the relevant path which we can pass down. This is needed
to support idmapped base layers with overlay.
