Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.

The three instances of ovl_path_open() in overlayfs/readdir.c do three
different things:
- pass f_flags from overlay file
- pass O_RDONLY | O_DIRECTORY
- pass just O_RDONLY
The value of f_flags can be (other than O_RDONLY):
O_WRONLY - not possible for a directory
O_RDWR - not possible for a directory
O_CREAT - masked out by dentry_open()
O_EXCL - masked out by dentry_open()
O_NOCTTY - masked out by dentry_open()
O_TRUNC - masked out by dentry_open()
O_APPEND - no effect on directory ops
O_NDELAY - no effect on directory ops
O_NONBLOCK - no effect on directory ops
__O_SYNC - no effect on directory ops
O_DSYNC - no effect on directory ops
FASYNC - no effect on directory ops
O_DIRECT - no effect on directory ops
O_LARGEFILE - ?
O_DIRECTORY - only affects lookup
O_NOFOLLOW - only affects lookup
O_NOATIME - overlay sets this unconditionally in ovl_path_open()
O_CLOEXEC - only affects fd allocation
O_PATH - no effect on directory ops
__O_TMPFILE - not possible for a directory
Fon non-merge directories we use the underlying filesystem's iterate; in
this case honor O_LARGEFILE from the original file to make sure that open
doesn't get rejected.
For merge directories it's safe to pass O_LARGEFILE unconditionally since
userspace will only see the artificial offsets created by overlayfs.
