![]() Overlapping overlay layers are not supported and can cause unexpected behavior, but overlayfs does not currently check or warn about these configurations. User is not supposed to specify the same directory for upper and lower dirs or for different lower layers and user is not supposed to specify directories that are descendants of each other for overlay layers, but that is exactly what this zysbot repro did: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/repro.syz?x=12c7a94f400000 Moving layer root directories into other layers while overlayfs is mounted could also result in unexpected behavior. This commit places "traps" in the overlay inode hash table. Those traps are dummy overlay inodes that are hashed by the layers root inodes. On mount, the hash table trap entries are used to verify that overlay layers are not overlapping. While at it, we also verify that overlay layers are not overlapping with directories "in-use" by other overlay instances as upperdir/workdir. On lookup, the trap entries are used to verify that overlay layers root inodes have not been moved into other layers after mount. Some examples: $ ./run --ov --samefs -s ... ( mkdir -p base/upper/0/u base/upper/0/w base/lower lower upper mnt mount -o bind base/lower lower mount -o bind base/upper upper mount -t overlay none mnt ... -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper/0/u,workdir=upper/0/w) $ umount mnt $ mount -t overlay none mnt ... -o lowerdir=base,upperdir=upper/0/u,workdir=upper/0/w [ 94.434900] overlayfs: overlapping upperdir path mount: mount overlay on mnt failed: Too many levels of symbolic links $ mount -t overlay none mnt ... -o lowerdir=upper/0/u,upperdir=upper/0/u,workdir=upper/0/w [ 151.350132] overlayfs: conflicting lowerdir path mount: none is already mounted or mnt busy $ mount -t overlay none mnt ... -o lowerdir=lower:lower/a,upperdir=upper/0/u,workdir=upper/0/w [ 201.205045] overlayfs: overlapping lowerdir path mount: mount overlay on mnt failed: Too many levels of symbolic links $ mount -t overlay none mnt ... -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper/0/u,workdir=upper/0/w $ mv base/upper/0/ base/lower/ $ find mnt/0 mnt/0 mnt/0/w find: 'mnt/0/w/work': Too many levels of symbolic links find: 'mnt/0/u': Too many levels of symbolic links Reported-by: syzbot+9c69c282adc4edd2b540@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> |

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.
