the behavior of d_real().

Shouldn't recursion pass on flags?
The answer is probably per flag.
The 2 currently proposed flags don't end up in recursion anyway,
although it is arguable that D_REAL_ALL should end up in recursion
because according to comment it should behave the same as
d_real for regular files.

For the purpose for which D_REAL_ALL was proposed (atime update)
the recursion case doesn't really matter.

Maybe a flag D_REAL_NORECURSE and then for
update_ovl_inode_times() use D_REAL_ALL|D_REAL_NORECURSE

Alternatively, update_ovl_inode_times() could use D_REAL_UPPER
and then we explicitly say that we don't care about lower mtime/ctime
modifications.

Well, D_REAL_ALL imples nonrecurse.  Maybe that needs better
documentation (comment above in ovl_d_real()) but I don't otherwise
see a problem with the current state of affairs.

Thanks,
Miklos
