Subject: [RFC PATCH 22/35] ovl: copy-up on MAP_SHARED
A corner case of a corner case is when
- file opened for O_RDONLY
- which is then memory mapped SHARED
- file opened for O_WRONLY
- contents modified
- contents read back though the shared mapping
Unfortunately it looks very difficult to do anything about the established
shared map after the file is copied up.
Instead, when a read-only file is mapped shared, copy up the file before
actually doing the map. This may result in unnecessary copy-ups (but so
may copy-up on open(O_RDWR) for exampe).
We can revisit this later if it turns out to be a performance problem in
real life.

+config OVERLAY_FS_COPY_UP_SHARED
+ bool "Overlayfs: copy up when mapping a file shared"
+ default n
+ depends on OVERLAY_FS
+ help
+ If this option is enabled then on mapping a file with MAP_SHARED
+ overlayfs copies up the file in anticipation of it being modified (just
+ like we copy up the file on O_WRONLY and O_RDWR in anticipation of
+ modification). This does not interfere with shared library loading, as
+ that uses MAP_PRIVATE. But there might be use cases out there where
+ this impacts performance and disk usage.
+
+ This just selects the default, the feature can also be enabled or
+ disabled in the running kernel or individually on each overlay mount.
+
+ To get maximally standard compliant behavior, enable this option.
+
+ To get a maximally backward compatible kernel, disable this option.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
