commitdfad37051a("remap_range: move permission hooks out of do_clone_file_range()") moved the permission hooks from do_clone_file_range() out to its caller vfs_clone_file_range(), but left all the fast sanity checks in do_clone_file_range(). This makes the expensive security hooks be called in situations that they would not have been called before (e.g. fs does not support clone). The only reason for the do_clone_file_range() helper was that overlayfs did not use to be able to call vfs_clone_file_range() from copy up context with sb_writers lock held. However, since commitc63e56a4a6("ovl: do not open/llseek lower file with upper sb_writers held"), overlayfs just uses an open coded version of vfs_clone_file_range(). Merge_clone_file_range() into vfs_clone_file_range(), restoring the original order of checks as it was before the regressing commit and adapt the overlayfs code to call vfs_clone_file_range() before the permission hooks that were added by commitca7ab48240("ovl: add permission hooks outside of do_splice_direct()"). Note that in the merge of do_clone_file_range(), the file_start_write() context was reduced to cover ->remap_file_range() without holding it over the permission hooks, which was the reason for doing the regressing commit in the first place.

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.
