Any open files referring to this inode will access the old data.



Any file locks (and leases) obtained before copy_up will not apply

to the copied up file.

"break" the link.  Changes will not be propagated to other names

referring to the same inode.

which is on the lower layer or is merged, then -EXDEV will be returned.
