dentry_open in ovl_security_fileattr fails for any file
larger than 2GB if open method of the underlying filesystem
calls generic_file_open (e.g. fusefs).
The issue can be reproduce using the following script:
(passthrough_ll is an example app from libfuse).
$ D=/opt/test/mnt
$ mkdir -p ${D}/{source,base,top/uppr,top/work,ovlfs}
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=${D}/source/zero.bin bs=1G count=2
$ passthrough_ll -o source=${D}/source ${D}/base
$ mount -t overlay overlay \
-olowerdir=${D}/base,upperdir=${D}/top/uppr,workdir=${D}/top/work \
${D}/ovlfs
$ chmod 0777 ${D}/mnt/ovlfs/zero.bin
Running this script results in "Value too large for defined data type"
error message from chmod.

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 reStructuredText 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.
