Defer lookup of lowerdata in the data-only layers to first data access or before copy up. We perform lowerdata lookup before copy up even if copy up is metadata only copy up. We can further optimize this lookup later if needed. We do best effort lazy lookup of lowerdata for d_real_inode(), because this interface does not expect errors. The only current in-tree caller of d_real_inode() is trace_uprobe and this caller is likely going to be followed reading from the file, before placing uprobes on offset within the file, so lowerdata should be available when setting the uprobe.

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.
