From fee760fc6c79998efc48bd06afeec31824dfb2d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konstantin Khlebnikov Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2017 21:30:21 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: drop CAP_SYS_RESOURCE from saved mounter's credentials commit 51f8f3c4e22535933ef9aecc00e9a6069e051b57 upstream. If overlay was mounted by root then quota set for upper layer does not work because overlay now always use mounter's credentials for operations. Also overlay might deplete reserved space and inodes in ext4. This patch drops capability SYS_RESOURCE from saved credentials. This affects creation new files, whiteouts, and copy-up operations.
