Overlayfs's volatile option allows the user to bypass all forced sync calls
to the upperdir filesystem. This comes at the cost of safety. We can never
ensure that the user's data is intact, but we can make a best effort to
expose whether or not the data is likely to be in a bad state.
The best way to handle this in the time being is that if an overlayfs's
upperdir experiences an error after a volatile mount occurs, that error
will be returned on fsync, fdatasync, sync, and syncfs. This is
contradictory to the traditional behaviour of VFS which fails the call
once, and only raises an error if a subsequent fsync error has occurred,
and been raised by the filesystem.
One awkward aspect of the patch is that we have to manually set the
superblock's errseq_t after the sync_fs callback as opposed to just
returning an error from syncfs. This is because the call chain looks
something like this:
sys_syncfs ->
sync_filesystem ->
__sync_filesystem ->
/* The return value is ignored here
sb->s_op->sync_fs(sb)
_sync_blockdev
/* Where the VFS fetches the error to raise to userspace */
errseq_check_and_advance
Because of this we call errseq_set every time the sync_fs callback occurs.
Due to the nature of this seen / unseen dichotomy, if the upperdir is an
inconsistent state at the initial mount time, overlayfs will refuse to
mount, as overlayfs cannot get a snapshot of the upperdir's errseq that
will increment on error until the user calls syncfs.

So far, with xino=auto, we only enable xino if we know that all
underlying filesystem use 32bit inode numbers.
When users configure overlay with xino=auto, they already declare that
they are ready to handle 64bit inode number from overlay.
It is a very common case, that underlying filesystem uses 64bit ino,
but rarely or never uses the high inode number bits (e.g. tmpfs, xfs).
Leaving it for the users to declare high ino bits are unused with
xino=on is not a recipe for many users to enjoy the benefits of xino.
There appears to be very little reason not to enable xino when users
declare xino=auto even if we do not know how many bits underlying
filesystem uses for inode numbers.
In the worst case of xino bits overflow by real inode number, we
already fall back to the non-xino behavior - real inode number with
unique pseudo dev or to non persistent inode number and overlay st_dev
(for directories).
The only annoyance from auto enabling xino is that xino bits overflow
emits a warning to kmsg. Suppress those warnings unless users explicitly
asked for xino=on, suggesting that they expected high ino bits to be
unused by underlying filesystem.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension
to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length
types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in
C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in
case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will
help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this
change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

resulted in vfs_iter_{read,write} being called on underlying filesystem,
which always results in syncronous IO.
Implement async IO for stacked reading and writing. This resolves the
performance regresion.
This is implemented by allocating a new kiocb for submitting the AIO

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

Generalize the helper ovl_open_maybe_copy_up() and use it to copy up file
with data before FS_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl.
The FS_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl is a bit of an odd ball in vfs, which probably
caused the confusion. File may be open O_RDONLY, but ioctl modifies the
file. VFS does not call mnt_want_write_file() nor lock inode mutex, but
fs-specific code for FS_IOC_SETFLAGS does. So ovl_ioctl() calls
mnt_want_write_file() for the overlay file, and fs-specific code calls
mnt_want_write_file() for upper fs file, but there was no call for
ovl_want_write() for copy up duration which prevents overlayfs from copying
up on a frozen upper fs.

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.

We need to be careful about races where we are doing stat on one cpu and
data copy up is taking place on other cpu. We want to return

block reporting will take place from lower or upper.
We now support metacopy dentries in middle layer. That means number of

We don't support metacopy feature with nfs_export. So in nfs_export code,
we set OVL_UPPERDATA flag set unconditionally if upper inode exists.
Do not follow metacopy origin if we find a metacopy only inode and metacopy
feature is not enabled for that mount. Like redirect, this can have

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.

conditions to check. Soon this patch series will introduce another
condition to check and Amir wants to introduce one more. So introduce a
helper instead to check this so that code is easier to read.

Right now two copy up helpers are in inode.c. Amir suggested it might be
better to move these to copy_up.c.
There will one more related function which will come in later patch.

ovl_inode->redirect is an inode property and should be initialized in
ovl_get_inode() only when we are adding a new inode to cache. If inode is
already in cache, it is already initialized and we should not be touching
ovl_inode->redirect field.
As of now this is not a problem as redirects are used only for directories
which don't share inode. But soon I want to use redirects for regular
files also and there it can become an issue.
Hence, move ->redirect initialization in ovl_get_inode().

Implement file operations on a regular overlay file. The underlying file
is opened separately and cached in ->private_data.
It might be worth making an exception for such files when accounting in
nr_file to confirm to userspace expectations. We are only adding a small
overhead (248bytes for the struct file) since the real inode and dentry are
pinned by overlayfs anyway.
This patch doesn't have any effect, since the vfs will use d_real() to find
the real underlying file to open. The patch at the end of the series will
actually enable this functionality.
AV: make it use open_with_fake_path(), don't mess with override_creds
SzM: still need to mess with override_creds() until no fs uses
current_cred() in their open method.

This is a late set of changes from Deepa Dinamani doing an automated
treewide conversion of the inode and iattr structures from 'timespec'
to 'timespec64', to push the conversion from the VFS layer into the
individual file systems.
There were no conflicts between this and the contents of linux-next
until just before the merge window, when we saw multiple problems:
- A minor conflict with my own y2038 fixes, which I could address
by adding another patch on top here.
- One semantic conflict with late changes to the NFS tree. I addressed
this by merging Deepa's original branch on top of the changes that
now got merged into mainline and making sure the merge commit includes
the necessary changes as produced by coccinelle.
- 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
intended for 4.18 [1], so I am ignoring that part.
As Deepa writes:
The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64.
Currently vfs uses struct timespec, which is not y2038 safe.
The series involves the following:
1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64 timestamps.
2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch.
3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual
replacement becomes easy.
4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script.
This is a flag day patch.
Next steps:
1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting
timestamps at the boundaries.
2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions.
Thomas Gleixner adds:
I think there is no point to drag that out for the next merge window.
The whole thing needs to be done in one go for the core changes which
means that you're going to play that catchup game forever. Let's get
over with it towards the end of the merge window.
