Commit Message

overlayfs using jffs2 as the upper filesystem would fail in some cases
since moving to v5.10. The test case used was to run 'touch' on a file
that exists in the lower fs, causing the modification time to be
updated. It returns EINVAL when the bug is triggered.

A bisection showed this was introduced in v5.9-rc1, with commit
36e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit ops").
Reverting that commit restores the expected behaviour.

Some digging showed that this was due to jffs2 lacking an implementation
of splice_write. (For unknown reasons the warn_unsupported that should
trigger was not displaying any output).

Adding this patch resolved the issue and the test now passes.

Fixes: 36e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit ops")

The same goes for quite a few other filesystems, actually - at least
adfs, affs, bfs, hfs, hfsplus, hostfs, hpfs, minix, omfs, sysv, ufs 
and vboxsf are in the same boat, and I suspect that ecryptfs and ntfs
might be too.

Christoph, do you see any problems with doing the same thing for that
bunch as well?

coda and udf as well, by the look of it...

Verified on g220a openbmc system that the patch fixes the issue.

Linus asked to only fix things up where we get reports, but I think his
intent there was more random procfs and debugfs files rather than file
systems.  So just doing the sweep should be fine.
