The two methods essentially do the same: find the real dentry/inode
belonging to an overlay dentry. The difference is in the usage:
vfs_open() uses ->d_select_inode() and expects the function to perform
copy-up if necessary based on the open flags argument.
file_dentry() uses ->d_real() passing in the overlay dentry as well as the
underlying inode.
vfs_rename() uses ->d_select_inode() but passes zero flags. ->d_real()
with a zero inode would have worked just as well here.
This patch merges the functionality of ->d_select_inode() into ->d_real()
by adding an 'open_flags' argument to the latter.
[Al Viro] Make the signature of d_real() match that of ->d_real() again.
And constify the inode argument, while we are at it.

"Followups to the parallel lookup work:
- update docs
- restore killability of the places that used to take ->i_mutex
killably now that we have down_write_killable() merged
- Additionally, it turns out that I missed a prerequisite for
security_d_instantiate() stuff - ->getxattr() wasn't the only thing
that could be called before dentry is attached to inode; with smack
we needed the same treatment applied to ->setxattr() as well"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
switch ->setxattr() to passing dentry and inode separately
switch xattr_handler->set() to passing dentry and inode separately
restore killability of old mutex_lock_killable(&inode->i_mutex) users
add down_write_killable_nested()
update D/f/directory-locking
smack ->d_instantiate() uses ->setxattr(), so to be able to call it before
we'd hashed the new dentry and attached it to inode, we need ->setxattr()
instances getting the inode as an explicit argument rather than obtaining
it from dentry.
Similar change for ->getxattr() had been done in commit ce23e64. Unlike
->getxattr() (which is used by both selinux and smack instances of
->d_instantiate()) ->setxattr() is used only by smack one and unfortunately
it got missed back then.

Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi:
"The meat of this is a change to use the mounter's credentials for
operations that require elevated privileges (such as whiteout
creation). This fixes behavior under user namespaces as well as being
a nice cleanup"
* 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
ovl: Do d_type check only if work dir creation was successful
ovl: update documentation
ovl: override creds with the ones from the superblock mounter
In user namespace the whiteout creation fails with -EPERM because the
current process isn't capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) when setting xattr.
A simple reproducer:
$ mkdir upper lower work merged lower/dir
$ sudo mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merged
$ unshare -m -p -f -U -r bash
Now as root in the user namespace:
\# touch merged/dir/{1,2,3} # this will force a copy up of lower/dir
\# rm -fR merged/*
This ends up failing with -EPERM after the files in dir has been
correctly deleted:
unlinkat(4, "2", 0) = 0
unlinkat(4, "1", 0) = 0
unlinkat(4, "3", 0) = 0
close(4) = 0
unlinkat(AT_FDCWD, "merged/dir", AT_REMOVEDIR) = -1 EPERM (Operation not
permitted)
Interestingly, if you don't place files in merged/dir you can remove it,
meaning if upper/dir does not exist, creating the char device file works
properly in that same location.
This patch uses ovl_sb_creator_cred() to get the cred struct from the
superblock mounter and override the old cred with these new ones so that
the whiteout creation is possible because overlay is wrong in assuming that
the creds it will get with prepare_creds will be in the initial user
namespace. The old cap_raise game is removed in favor of just overriding
the old cred struct.
This patch also drops from ovl_copy_up_one() the following two lines:
override_cred->fsuid = stat->uid;
override_cred->fsgid = stat->gid;
This is because the correct uid and gid are taken directly with the stat
struct and correctly set with ovl_set_attr().

In some instances xfs has been created with ftype=0 and there if a file
on lower fs is removed, overlay leaves a whiteout in upper fs but that
whiteout does not get filtered out and is visible to overlayfs users.
And reason it does not get filtered out because upper filesystem does
not report file type of whiteout as DT_CHR during iterate_dir().
So it seems to be a requirement that upper filesystem support d_type for
overlayfs to work properly. Do this check during mount and fail if d_type
is not supported.

Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:
"This contains several bug fixes and a new mount option
'default_permissions' that allows read-only exported NFS
filesystems to be used as lower layer"
* 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
ovl: check dentry positiveness in ovl_cleanup_whiteouts()
ovl: setattr: check permissions before copy-up
ovl: root: copy attr
ovl: move super block magic number to magic.h
ovl: use a minimal buffer in ovl_copy_xattr
ovl: allow zero size xattr
ovl: default permissions
Add mount option "default_permissions" to alter the way permissions are
calculated.
Without this option and prior to this patch permissions were calculated by
underlying lower or upper filesystem.
With this option the permissions are calculated by overlayfs based on the
file owner, group and mode bits.
This has significance for example when a read-only exported NFS filesystem
is used as a lower layer. In this case the underlying NFS filesystem will
reply with EROFS, in which case all we know is that the filesystem is
read-only. But that's not what we are interested in, we are interested in
whether the access would be allowed if the filesystem wasn't read-only; the
server doesn't tell us that, and would need updating at various levels,
which doesn't seem practicable.

Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in
/proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the
overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it).
Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see:
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
...
lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:38 5 -> /a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107
...
Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381 Links: 1
...
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
...
Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381 Links: 1
...
After the patch:
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
...
lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:22 5 -> /mnt/a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107
...
Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1
...
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
...
Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1
...
Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command. It was
pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107
(which is correct).
The inode accessed, however, is the lower layer. The union layer is on device
25h/37d and the upper layer on 24h/36d.

Overlayfs allows one, usually read-write, directory tree to be
overlaid onto another, read-only directory tree. All modifications
go to the upper, writable layer.
This type of mechanism is most often used for live CDs but there's a
wide variety of other uses.
The implementation differs from other "union filesystem"
implementations in that after a file is opened all operations go
directly to the underlying, lower or upper, filesystems. This
simplifies the implementation and allows native performance in these
cases.
The dentry tree is duplicated from the underlying filesystems, this
enables fast cached lookups without adding special support into the
VFS. This uses slightly more memory than union mounts, but dentries
are relatively small.
Currently inodes are duplicated as well, but it is a possible
optimization to share inodes for non-directories.
Opening non directories results in the open forwarded to the
underlying filesystem. This makes the behavior very similar to union
mounts (with the same limitations vs. fchmod/fchown on O_RDONLY file
descriptors).
Usage:
mount -t overlayfs overlayfs -olowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper/upper,workdir=/upper/work /overlay

AV:
- ovl_copy_up_locked() - dput(ERR_PTR(...)) on two failure exits
- ovl_clear_empty() - one failure exit forgetting to do unlock_rename(),
lack of check for udir being the parent of upper, dropping and regaining
the lock on udir (which would require _another_ check for parent being
right).
- bogus d_drop() in copyup and rename [fix from your mail]
- copyup/remove and copyup/rename races [fix from your mail]
- ovl_dir_fsync() leaving ERR_PTR() in ->realfile
- ovl_entry_free() is pointless - it's just a kfree_rcu()
- fold ovl_do_lookup() into ovl_lookup()
- manually assigning ->d_op is wrong. Just use ->s_d_op.
