Since overlayfs implements stacked file operations, the underlying
filesystems are not supposed to be exposed to the overlayfs file,
whose f_inode is an overlayfs inode.
Assigning an overlayfs file to swap_file results in an attempt of xfs
code to dereference an xfs_inode struct from an ovl_inode pointer:
CPU: 0 PID: 2462 Comm: swapon Not tainted
4.18.0-xfstests-12721-g33e17876ea4e #3402
RIP: 0010:xfs_find_bdev_for_inode+0x23/0x2f
Call Trace:
xfs_iomap_swapfile_activate+0x1f/0x43
__se_sys_swapon+0xb1a/0xee9
Fix this by not assigning the real inode mapping to f_mapping, which
will cause swapon() to return an error (-EINVAL). Although it makes
sense not to allow setting swpafile on an overlayfs file, some users
may depend on it, so we may need to fix this up in the future.
Keeping f_mapping pointing to overlay inode mapping will cause O_DIRECT
open to fail. Fix this by installing ovl_aops with noop_direct_IO in
overlay inode mapping.
Keeping f_mapping pointing to overlay inode mapping will cause other
a_ops related operations to fail (e.g. readahead()). Those will be
fixed by follow up patches.

ovl_copy_up() by default will only do metadata only copy up (if enabled).
That means when ovl_real_ioctl() calls ovl_real_file(), it will still get
the lower file (as ovl_real_file() opens data file and not metacopy). And
that means "chattr +i" will end up modifying lower inode.
There seem to be two ways to solve this.
A. Open metacopy file in ovl_real_ioctl() and do operations on that
B. Force full copy up when FS_IOC_SETFLAGS is called.
I am resorting to option B for now as it feels little safer option. If
there are performance issues due to this, we can revisit it.

truncate should copy up full file (and not do metacopy only), otherwise it
will be broken. For example, use truncate to increase size of a file so
that any read beyong existing size will return null bytes. If we don't
copy up full file, then we end up opening lower file and read from it only
reads upto the old size (and not new size after truncate). Hence to avoid
such situations, copy up data as well when file size changes.
So far it was being done by d_real(O_WRONLY) call in truncate() path. Now
that patch has been reverted. So force full copy up in ovl_setattr() if
size of file is changing.

Right now we seem to check redirect only if upperdentry is found. But it
is possible that there is no upperdentry but later we found an index.
We need to check redirect on index as well and set it in
ovl_inode->redirect. Otherwise link code can assume that dentry does not
have redirect and place a new one which breaks things. In my testing
overlay/033 test started failing in xfstests. Following are the details.
For example do following.
$ mkdir lower upper work merged
- Make lower dir with 4 links.
$ echo "foo" > lower/l0.txt
$ ln lower/l0.txt lower/l1.txt
$ ln lower/l0.txt lower/l2.txt
$ ln lower/l0.txt lower/l3.txt
- Mount with index on and metacopy on.
$ mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work,\
index=on,metacopy=on none merged
- Link lower
$ ln merged/l0.txt merged/l4.txt
(This will metadata copy up of l0.txt and put an absolute redirect
/l0.txt)
$ echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop/caches
$ ls merged/l1.txt
(Now l1.txt will be looked up. There is no upper dentry but there is
lower dentry and index will be found. We don't check for redirect on
index, hence ovl_inode->redirect will be NULL.)
- Link Upper
$ ln merged/l4.txt merged/l5.txt
(Lookup of l4.txt will use inode from l1.txt lookup which is still in
cache. It has ovl_inode->redirect NULL, hence link will put a new
redirect and replace /l0.txt with /l4.txt
- Drop caches.
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
- List l1.txt and it returns -ESTALE
$ ls merged/l0.txt
(It returns stale because, we found a metacopy of l0.txt in upper and it
has redirect l4.txt but there is no file named l4.txt in lower layer.
So lower data copy is not found and -ESTALE is returned.)
So problem here is that we did not process redirect on index. Check
redirect on index as well and then problem is fixed.

When we create a hardlink to a metacopy upper file, first the redirect on
that inode. Path based lookup will not work with newly created link and
redirect will solve that issue.
Also use absolute redirect as two hardlinks could be in different
directores and relative redirect will not work.
I have not put any additional locking around setting redirects while
introducing redirects for non-dir files. For now it feels like existing
locking is sufficient. If that's not the case, we will have add more
locking. Following is my rationale about why do I think current locking
seems ok.
Basic problem for non-dir files is that more than on dentry could be
pointing to same inode and in theory only relying on dentry based locks
(d->d_lock) did not seem sufficient.
We set redirect upon rename and upon link creation. In both the paths for
non-dir file, VFS locks both source and target inodes (->i_rwsem). That
means vfs rename and link operations on same source and target can't he
happening in parallel (Even if there are multiple dentries pointing to same
inode). So that probably means that at a time on an inode, only one call
of ovl_set_redirect() could be working and we don't need additional locking
in ovl_set_redirect().
ovl_inode->redirect is initialized only when inode is created new. That
means it should not race with any other path and setting
ovl_inode->redirect should be fine.
Reading of ovl_inode->redirect happens in ovl_get_redirect() path. And
this called only in ovl_set_redirect(). And ovl_set_redirect() already
seemed to be protected using ->i_rwsem. That means ovl_set_redirect() and
ovl_get_redirect() on source/target inode should not make progress in
parallel and is mutually exclusive. Hence no additional locking required.
Now, only case where ovl_set_redirect() and ovl_get_redirect() could race
seems to be case of absolute redirects where ovl_get_redirect() has to
travel up the tree. In that case we already take d->d_lock and that should
be sufficient as directories will not have multiple dentries pointing to
same inode.
So given VFS locking and current usage of redirect, current locking around
redirect seems to be ok for non-dir as well. Once we have the logic to
remove redirect when metacopy file gets copied up, then we probably will
need additional locking.

If a dentry has copy up origin, we set flag OVL_PATH_ORIGIN. So far this
decision was easy that we had to check only for oe->numlower and if it is
non-zero, we knew there is copy up origin. (For non-dir we installed
origin dentry in lowerstack[0]).
But we don't create ORGIN xattr for broken hardlinks (index=off). And with
metacopy feature it is possible that we will install lowerstack[0] but
ORIGIN xattr is not there. It is data dentry of upper metacopy dentry
which has been found using regular name based lookup or using REDIRECT. So
with addition of this new case, just presence of oe->numlower is not
sufficient to guarantee that ORIGIN xattr is present.
So to differentiate between two cases, look at OVL_CONST_INO flag. If this
flag is set and upperdentry is there, that means it can be marked as type
ORIGIN. OVL_CONST_INO is not set if lower hardlink is broken or will be
broken over copy up.

Now we will have the capability to have upper inodes which might be only
metadata copy up and data is still on lower inode. So add a new xattr
OVL_XATTR_METACOPY to distinguish between two cases.
Presence of OVL_XATTR_METACOPY reflects that file has been copied up
metadata only and and data will be copied up later from lower origin. So
this xattr is set when a metadata copy takes place and cleared when data
copy takes place.
We also use a bit in ovl_inode->flags to cache OVL_UPPERDATA which reflects
whether ovl inode has data or not (as opposed to metadata only copy up).
If a file is copied up metadata only and later when same file is opened for
WRITE, then data copy up takes place. We copy up data, remove METACOPY
xattr and then set the UPPERDATA flag in ovl_inode->flags. While all these
operations happen with oi->lock held, read side of oi->flags can be
lockless. That is another thread on another cpu can check if UPPERDATA
flag is set or not.
So this gives us an ordering requirement w.r.t UPPERDATA flag. That is, if
another cpu sees UPPERDATA flag set, then it should be guaranteed that
effects of data copy up and remove xattr operations are also visible.
For example.
CPU1 CPU2
ovl_open() acquire(oi->lock)
ovl_open_maybe_copy_up() ovl_copy_up_data()
open_open_need_copy_up() vfs_removexattr()
ovl_already_copied_up()
ovl_dentry_needs_data_copy_up() ovl_set_flag(OVL_UPPERDATA)
ovl_test_flag(OVL_UPPERDATA) release(oi->lock)
Say CPU2 is copying up data and in the end sets UPPERDATA flag. But if
CPU1 perceives the effects of setting UPPERDATA flag but not the effects of
preceding operations (ex. upper that is not fully copied up), it will be a
problem.
Hence this patch introduces smp_wmb() on setting UPPERDATA flag operation
and smp_rmb() on UPPERDATA flag test operation.
May be some other lock or barrier is already covering it. But I am not sure
what that is and is it obvious enough that we will not break it in future.
So hence trying to be safe here and introducing barriers explicitly for
UPPERDATA flag/bit.

There were no conflicts between this and the contents of linux-next

- A minor conflict with my own y2038 fixes, which I could address

- One semantic conflict with late changes to the NFS tree. I addressed

- A trivial conflict against the removal of staging/lustre.
- Multiple conflicts against the VFS changes in the overlayfs tree.
These are still part of linux-next, but apparently this is no longer

Currently vfs uses struct timespec, which is not y2038 safe.
The series involves the following:

Currently, there is a small window where ovl_obtain_alias() can
race with ovl_instantiate() and create two different overlay inodes
with the same underlying real non-dir non-hardlink inode.
The race requires an adversary to guess the file handle of the
yet to be created upper inode and decode the guessed file handle
after ovl_creat_real(), but before ovl_instantiate().
This race does not affect overlay directory inodes, because those
are decoded via ovl_lookup_real() and not with ovl_obtain_alias().
This patch fixes the race, by using inode_insert5() to add a newly
created inode to cache.
If the newly created inode apears to already exist in cache (hashed
by the same real upper inode), we instantiate the dentry with the old
inode and drop the new inode, instead of silently not hashing the new
inode.

With mount option "xino=on", mounter declares that there are enough
free high bits in underlying fs to hold the layer fsid.
If overlayfs does encounter underlying inodes using the high xino
bits reserved for layer fsid, a warning will be emitted and the original
inode number will be used.
The mount option name "xino" goes after a similar meaning mount option
of aufs, but in overlayfs case, the mapping is stateless.
An example for a use case of "xino=on" is when upper/lower is on an xfs
filesystem. xfs uses 64bit inode numbers, but it currently never uses the
upper 8bit for inode numbers exposed via stat(2) and that is not likely to
change in the future without user opting-in for a new xfs feature. The
actual number of unused upper bit is much larger and determined by the xfs
filesystem geometry (64 - agno_log - agblklog - inopblog). That means
that for all practical purpose, there are enough unused bits in xfs
inode numbers for more than OVL_MAX_STACK unique fsid's.
Another use case of "xino=on" is when upper/lower is on tmpfs. tmpfs inode
numbers are allocated sequentially since boot, so they will practially
never use the high inode number bits.
For compatibility with applications that expect 32bit inodes, the feature
can be disabled with "xino=off". The option "xino=auto" automatically
detects underlying filesystem that use 32bit inodes and enables the
feature. The Kconfig option OVERLAY_FS_XINO_AUTO and module parameter of
the same name, determine if the default mode for overlayfs mount is
"xino=auto" or "xino=off".

On 64bit systems, when overlay layers are not all on the same fs, but
all inode numbers of underlying fs are not using the high bits, use the
high bits to partition the overlay st_ino address space. The high bits
hold the fsid (upper fsid is 0). This way overlay inode numbers are unique
and all inodes use overlay st_dev. Inode numbers are also persistent
for a given layer configuration.
Currently, our only indication for available high ino bits is from a
filesystem that supports file handles and uses the default encode_fh()
operation, which encodes a 32bit inode number.

Certain properties in ovl_lookup_data should be set only for the last

absolute redirect, then d->is_dir and d->opaque do not make much sense
for intermediate path elements. Instead set them only if dentry being
lookup is last path element.

When decoding a lower file handle, we need to check if lower file was
copied up and indexed and if it has a whiteout index, we need to check
if this is an unlinked but open non-dir before returning -ESTALE.
To find out if this is an unlinked but open non-dir we need to lookup
an overlay inode in inode cache by lower inode and that requires decoding
the lower file handle before looking in inode cache.
Before this change, if the lower inode turned out to be a directory, we
may have paid an expensive cost to reconnect that lower directory for
nothing.
After this change, we start by decoding a disconnected lower dentry and
using the lower inode for looking up an overlay inode in inode cache.
If we find overlay inode and dentry in cache, we avoid the index lookup
overhead. If we don't find an overlay inode and dentry in cache, then we
only need to decode a connected lower dentry in case the lower dentry is
a non-indexed directory.
The xfstests group overlay/exportfs tests decoding overlayfs file
handles after drop_caches with different states of the file at encode
and decode time. Overall the tests in the group call ovl_lower_fh_to_d()
89 times to decode a lower file handle.
Before this change, the tests called ovl_get_index_fh() 75 times and
reconnect_one() 61 times.
After this change, the tests call ovl_get_index_fh() 70 times and
reconnect_one() 59 times. The 2 cases where reconnect_one() was avoided
are cases where a non-upper directory file handle was encoded, then the
directory removed and then file handle was decoded.
To demonstrate the affect on decoding file handles with hot inode/dentry
cache, the drop_caches call in the tests was disabled. Without
drop_caches, there are no reconnect_one() calls at all before or after
the change. Before the change, there are 75 calls to ovl_get_index_fh(),
exactly as the case with drop_caches. After the change, there are only
10 calls to ovl_get_index_fh().

On lookup of non directory, we try to decode the origin file handle
stored in upper inode. The origin file handle is supposed to be decoded
to a disconnected non-dir dentry, which is fine, because we only need
the lower inode of a copy up origin.
However, if the origin file handle somehow turns out to be a directory
we pay the expensive cost of reconnecting the directory dentry, only to
get a mismatch file type and drop the dentry.
Optimize this case by explicitly opting out of reconnecting the dentry.
Opting-out of reconnect is done by passing a NULL acceptable callback
to exportfs_decode_fh().
While the case described above is a strange corner case that does not
really need to be optimized, the API added for this optimization will
be used by a following patch to optimize a more common case of decoding
an overlayfs file handle.

As of now if we encounter an opaque dir while looking for a dentry, we set
d->last=true. This means that there is no need to look further in any of
the lower layers. This works fine as long as there are no redirets or
relative redircts. But what if there is an absolute redirect on the
children dentry of opaque directory. We still need to continue to look into
next lower layer. This patch fixes it.
Here is an example to demonstrate the issue. Say you have following setup.
upper: /redirect (redirect=/a/b/c)
lower1: /a/[b]/c ([b] is opaque) (c has absolute redirect=/a/b/d/)
lower0: /a/b/d/foo
Now "redirect" dir should merge with lower1:/a/b/c/ and lower0:/a/b/d.
Note, despite the fact lower1:/a/[b] is opaque, we need to continue to look
into lower0 because children c has an absolute redirect.
Following is a reproducer.
Watch me make foo disappear:
$ mkdir lower middle upper work work2 merged
$ mkdir lower/origin
$ touch lower/origin/foo
$ mount -t overlay none merged/ \
-olowerdir=lower,upperdir=middle,workdir=work2
$ mkdir merged/pure
$ mv merged/origin merged/pure/redirect
$ umount merged
$ mount -t overlay none merged/ \
-olowerdir=middle:lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work
$ mv merged/pure/redirect merged/redirect
Now you see foo inside a twice redirected merged dir:
$ ls merged/redirect
foo
$ umount merged
$ mount -t overlay none merged/ \
-olowerdir=middle:lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work
After mount cycle you don't see foo inside the same dir:
$ ls merged/redirect
During middle layer lookup, the opaqueness of middle/pure is left in
the lookup state and then middle/pure/redirect is wrongly treated as
opaque.

d->last signifies that this is the last layer we are looking into and there
is no more. And that means this allows for some optimzation opportunities
during lookup. For example, in ovl_lookup_single() we don't have to check
for opaque xattr of a directory is this is the last layer we are looking
into (d->last = true).
But knowing for sure whether we are looking into last layer can be very
tricky. If redirects are not enabled, then we can look at poe->numlower and
figure out if the lookup we are about to is last layer or not. But if
redircts are enabled then it is possible poe->numlower suggests that we are
looking in last layer, but there is an absolute redirect present in found
element and that redirects us to a layer in root and that means lookup will
continue in lower layers further.
For example, consider following.
/upperdir/pure (opaque=y)
/upperdir/pure/foo (opaque=y,redirect=/bar)
/lowerdir/bar
In this case pure is "pure upper". When we look for "foo", that time
poe->numlower=0. But that alone does not mean that we will not search for a
merge candidate in /lowerdir. Absolute redirect changes that.
IOW, d->last should not be set just based on poe->numlower if redirects are
enabled. That can lead to setting d->last while it should not have and that
means we will not check for opaque xattr while we should have.
So do this.
- If redirects are not enabled, then continue to rely on poe->numlower
information to determine if it is last layer or not.
- If redirects are enabled, then set d->last = true only if this is the
last layer in root ovl_entry (roe).

Eddie Horng reported that readdir of an overlayfs directory that
was exported via NFSv3 returns entries with d_type set to DT_UNKNOWN.
The reason is that while preparing the response for readdirplus, nfsd
checks inside encode_entryplus_baggage() that a child dentry's inode
number matches the value of d_ino returns by overlayfs readdir iterator.
Because the overlayfs inodes use arbitrary inode numbers that are not
correlated with the values of st_ino/d_ino, NFSv3 falls back to not
encoding d_type. Although this is an allowed behavior, we can fix it for
the case of all overlayfs layers on the same underlying filesystem.
When NFS export is enabled and d_ino is consistent with st_ino
(samefs), set the same value also to i_ino in ovl_fill_inode() for all
overlayfs inodes, nfsd readdirplus sanity checks will pass.
ovl_fill_inode() may be called from ovl_new_inode(), before real inode
was created with ino arg 0. In that case, i_ino will be updated to real
upper inode i_ino on ovl_inode_init() or ovl_inode_update().

redirect_dir=nofollow should not follow a redirect. But in a specific

$ mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower1:lower0,workdir=work,upperdir=upper,redirect_dir=nofollow none merged
$ ls merged/foo-renamed/
# This lists lower-file.txt, while it should not have.
Basically, we are doing redirect check after we check for d.stop. And
if this is not last lower, and we find an opaque lower, d.stop will be
set.
ovl_lookup_single()
if (!d->last && ovl_is_opaquedir(this)) {
d->stop = d->opaque = true;

This change relaxes copy up on encode of merge dir with lower layer > 1
and handles the case of encoding a merge dir with lower layer 1, where an
ancestor is a non-indexed merge dir. In that case, decode of the lower
file handle will not have been possible if the non-indexed ancestor is
redirected before or after encode.
Before encoding a non-upper directory file handle from real layer N, we
need to check if it will be possible to reconnect an overlay dentry from
the real lower decoded dentry. This is done by following the overlay
ancestry up to a "layer N connected" ancestor and verifying that all
parents along the way are "layer N connectable". If an ancestor that is
NOT "layer N connectable" is found, we need to copy up an ancestor, which
is "layer N connectable", thus making that ancestor "layer N connected".
For example:
layer 1: /a
layer 2: /a/b/c
The overlay dentry /a is NOT "layer 2 connectable", because if dir /a is
copied up and renamed, upper dir /a will be indexed by lower dir /a from
layer 1. The dir /a from layer 2 will never be indexed, so the algorithm
in ovl_lookup_real_ancestor() (*) will not be able to lookup a connected
overlay dentry from the connected lower dentry /a/b/c.
To avoid this problem on decode time, we need to copy up an ancestor of
/a/b/c, which is "layer 2 connectable", on encode time. That ancestor is
/a/b. After copy up (and index) of /a/b, it will become "layer 2 connected"
and when the time comes to decode the file handle from lower dentry /a/b/c,
ovl_lookup_real_ancestor() will find the indexed ancestor /a/b and decoding
a connected overlay dentry will be accomplished.
(*) the algorithm in ovl_lookup_real_ancestor() can be improved to lookup
an entry /a in the lower layers above layer N and find the indexed dir /a
from layer 1. If that improvement is made, then the check for "layer N
connected" will need to verify there are no redirects in lower layers above
layer N. In the example above, /a will be "layer 2 connectable". However,
if layer 2 dir /a is a target of a layer 1 redirect, then /a will NOT be
"layer 2 connectable":
layer 1: /A (redirect = /a)
layer 2: /a/b/c

Commit 31747eda41 ("ovl: hash directory inodes for fsnotify")
fixed an issue of inotify watch on directory that stops getting
events after dropping dentry caches.
A similar issue exists for non-dir non-upper files, for example:
$ mkdir -p lower upper work merged
$ touch lower/foo
$ mount -t overlay -o
lowerdir=lower,workdir=work,upperdir=upper none merged
$ inotifywait merged/foo &
$ echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
$ cat merged/foo
inotifywait doesn't get the OPEN event, because ovl_lookup() called
from 'cat' allocates a new overlay inode and does not reuse the
watched inode.
Fix this by hashing non-dir overlay inodes by lower real inode in
the following cases that were not hashed before this change:
- A non-upper overlay mount
- A lower non-hardlink when index=off
A helper ovl_hash_bylower() was added to put all the logic and
documentation about which real inode an overlay inode is hashed by
into one place.
The issue dates back to initial version of overlayfs, but this
patch depends on ovl_inode code that was introduced in kernel v4.13.

Now that NFS export operations are implemented, enable overlayfs NFS
export support if the "nfs_export" feature is enabled.

ovl_lookup_real() in lower layer walks back lower parents to find the
topmost indexed parent. If an indexed ancestor is found before reaching
lower layer root, ovl_lookup_real() is called recursively with upper
layer to walk back from indexed upper to the topmost connected/hashed
upper parent (or up to root).
ovl_lookup_real() in upper layer then walks forward to connect the topmost
upper overlay dir dentry and ovl_lookup_real() in lower layer continues to
walk forward to connect the decoded lower overlay dir dentry.

Decoding a dir file handle requires walking backward up to layer root and
for lower dir also checking the index to see if any of the parents have
been copied up.
Lookup overlay ancestor dentry in inode/dentry cache by decoded real
parents to shortcut looking up all the way back to layer root.

Non-indexed upper dirs are encoded as upper file handles. When NFS export
is enabled, hash non-indexed directory inodes by upper inode, so we can
find them in inode cache using the decoded upper inode.
When NFS export is disabled, directories are not indexed on copy up, so
hash non-indexed directory inodes by origin inode, the same hash key
that is used before copy up.

Similar to decoding a pure upper dir file handle, decoding a pure lower
dir file handle is implemented by looking an overlay dentry of the same
path as the pure lower path and verifying that the overlay dentry's
real lower matches the decoded real lower file handle.
Unlike the case of upper dir file handle, the lookup of overlay path by
lower real path can fail or find a mismatched overlay dentry if any of
the lower parents have been copied up and renamed. To address this case
we will need to check if any of the lower parents are indexed.

Decoding an indexed dir file handle is done by looking up the file handle
in index dir by name and then decoding the upper dir from the index origin
file handle. The decoded upper path is used to lookup an overlay dentry of
the same path.

Lookup overlay inode in cache by origin inode, so we can decode a file
handle of an open file even if the index has a whiteout index entry to
mark this overlay inode was unlinked.
