580c610429 ovl: fix uninitialized pointer read in ovl_lookup_real_one()
One error path can result in release_dentry_name_snapshot() being called
before "name" was initialized by take_dentry_name_snapshot().

Fix by moving the release_dentry_name_snapshot() to immediately after the
only use.

124c2de2c0 ovl: relax WARN_ON() when decoding lower directory file handle
Decoding a lower directory file handle to overlay path with cold
inode/dentry cache may go as follows:

1. Decode real lower file handle to lower dir path
2. Check if lower dir is indexed (was copied up)
3. If indexed, get the upper dir path from index
4. Lookup upper dir path in overlay
5. If overlay path found, verify that overlay lower is the lower dir
   from step 1

On failure to verify step 5 above, user will get an ESTALE error and a
WARN_ON will be printed.

A mismatch in step 5 could be a result of lower directory that was renamed
while overlay was offline, after that lower directory has been copied up
and indexed.

This is a scripted reproducer based on xfstest overlay/052:

  # Create lower subdir
  create_dirs
  create_test_files $lower/lowertestdir/subdir
  mount_dirs
  # Copy up lower dir and encode lower subdir file handle
  touch $SCRATCH_MNT/lowertestdir
  test_file_handles $SCRATCH_MNT/lowertestdir/subdir -p -o $tmp.fhandle
  # Rename lower dir offline
  unmount_dirs
  mv $lower/lowertestdir $lower/lowertestdir.new/
  mount_dirs
  # Attempt to decode lower subdir file handle
  test_file_handles $SCRATCH_MNT -p -i $tmp.fhandle

Since this WARN_ON() can be triggered by user we need to relax it.

144da23bea ovl: return required buffer size for file handles
Overlayfs doesn't work well with the fanotify mechanism.

Fanotify first probes for the required buffer size for the file handle,
but overlayfs currently bails out without passing the size back.

That results in errors in the kernel log, such as:

9aafc1b018 ovl: potential crash in ovl_fid_to_fh()
The "buflen" value comes from the user and there is a potential that it
could be zero.  In do_handle_to_path() we know that "handle->handle_bytes"
is non-zero and we do:

	handle_dwords = handle->handle_bytes >> 2;

So values 1-3 become zero.  Then in ovl_fh_to_dentry() we do:

	int len = fh_len << 2;

So now len is in the "0,4-128" range and a multiple of 4.  But if
"buflen" is zero it will try to copy negative bytes when we do the
memcpy in ovl_fid_to_fh().

	memcpy(&fh->fb, fid, buflen - OVL_FH_WIRE_OFFSET);

And that will lead to a crash.  Thanks to Amir Goldstein for his help
with this patch.

E.g. negative overlay dentry has no underlying layers, hence revalidate is

then can skip revalidate.

The following places need to update whether the dentry needs revalidate or

cbe7fba8ed ovl: make sure that real fid is 32bit aligned in memory
Seprate on-disk encoding from in-memory and on-wire resresentation
of overlay file handle.

In-memory and on-wire we only ever pass around pointers to struct
ovl_fh, which encapsulates at offset 3 the on-disk format struct
ovl_fb. struct ovl_fb encapsulates at offset 21 the real file handle.
That makes sure that the real file handle is always 32bit aligned
in-memory when passed down to the underlying filesystem.

On-disk format remains the same and store/load are done into
correctly aligned buffer.

New nfs exported file handles are exported with aligned real fid.
Old nfs file handles are copied to an aligned buffer before being
decoded.

155b8a0492 ovl: fix decode of dir file handle with multi lower layers
When decoding a lower file handle, we first call ovl_check_origin_fh()
with connected=false to get any real lower dentry for overlay inode
cache lookup.

If the real dentry is a disconnected dir dentry, ovl_check_origin_fh()
is called again with connected=true to get a connected real dentry
and find the lower layer the real dentry belongs to.

If the first call returned a connected real dentry, we use it to
lookup an overlay connected dentry, but the first ovl_check_origin_fh()
call with connected=false did not check that the found dentry is under
the root of the layer (see ovl_acceptable()), it only checked that
the found dentry super block matches the uuid of the lower file handle.

In case there are multiple lower layers on the same fs and the found
dentry is not from the top most lower layer, using the layer index
returned from the first ovl_check_origin_fh() is wrong and we end
up failing to decode the file handle.

Fix this by always calling ovl_check_origin_fh() with connected=true
if we got a directory dentry in the first call.

9d3dfea3d3 ovl: Modify ovl_lookup() and friends to lookup metacopy dentry
This patch modifies ovl_lookup() and friends to lookup metacopy dentries.
It also allows for presence of metacopy dentries in lower layer.

During lookup, check for presence of OVL_XATTR_METACOPY and if not present,
set OVL_UPPERDATA bit in flags.

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
security implications where an attacker could hand craft upper and try to
gain access to file on lower which it should not have to begin with.

8b58924ad5 ovl: lookup in inode cache first when decoding lower file handle
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().

8a22efa15b ovl: do not try to reconnect a disconnected origin dentry
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.

2ca3c148a0 ovl: check lower ancestry on encode of lower dir file handle
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

Unlike the case of upper dir file handle, the lookup of overlay path by

03e1c584ff ovl: encode lower file handles
For indexed or lower non-dir, encode a non-connectable lower file handle
from origin inode. For indexed or lower dir, when ofs->numlower == 1,
encode a lower file handle from lower dir.

05e1f11816 ovl: copy up before encoding non-connectable dir file handle
Decoding a merge dir, whose origin's parent is under a redirected
lower dir is not always possible. As a simple aproximation, we do
not encode lower dir file handles when overlay has multiple lower
layers and origin is below the topmost lower layer.

We should later relax this condition and copy up only the parent
that is under a redirected lower.

b305e8443f ovl: encode non-indexed upper file handles
We only need to encode origin if there is a chance that the same object was
encoded pre copy up and then we need to stay consistent with the same
encoding also after copy up.

In case a non-pure upper is not indexed, then it was copied up before NFS
export support was enabled. In that case, we don't need to worry about
staying consistent with pre copy up encoding and we encode an upper file
handle.

This mitigates the problem that with no index, we cannot find an upper
inode from origin inode, so we cannot decode a non-indexed upper from
origin file handle.

3985b70a3e ovl: decode connected upper dir file handles
Until this change, we decoded upper file handles by instantiating an
overlay dentry from the real upper dentry. This is sufficient to handle
pure upper files, but insufficient to handle merge/impure dirs.

To that end, if decoded real upper dir is connected and hashed, we
lookup an overlay dentry with the same path as the real upper dir.
If decoded real upper is non-dir, we instantiate a disconnected overlay
dentry as before this change.

Because ovl_fh_to_dentry() returns a connected overlay dir dentry,
exportfs never needs to call get_parent() and get_name() to reconnect an
upper overlay dir. Because connectable non-dir file handles are not
supported, exportfs will not be able to use fh_to_parent() and get_name()
methods to reconnect a disconnected non-dir to its parent. Therefore, the
methods get_parent() and get_name() are implemented just to print out a
sanity warning and the method fh_to_parent() is implemented to warn the
user that using the 'subtree_check' exportfs option is not supported.

An alternative approach could have been to implement instantiating of
an overlay directory inode from origin/index and implement get_parent()
and get_name() by calling into underlying fs operations and them
instantiating the overlay parent dir.

The reasons for not choosing the get_parent() approach were:
- Obtaining a disconnected overlay dir dentry would requires a
  delicate re-factoring of ovl_lookup() to get a dentry with overlay
  parent info. It was preferred to avoid doing that re-factoring unless
  it was proven worthy.
- Going down the path of disconnected dir would mean that the (non
  trivial) code path of d_splice_alias() could be traveled and that
  meant writing more tests and introduces race cases that are very hard
  to hit on purpose. Taking the path of connecting overlay dentry by
  forward lookup is therefore the safe and boring way to avoid surprises.

The culprits of the chosen "connected overlay dentry" approach:
- We need to take special care to rename of ancestors while connecting
  the overlay dentry by real dentry path. These subtleties are usually
  handled by generic exportfs and VFS code.
- In a hypothetical workload, we could end up in a loop trying to connect,
  interrupted by rename and restarting connect forever.

8556a4205b ovl: decode pure upper file handles
Decoding an upper file handle is done by decoding the upper dentry from
underlying upper fs, finding or allocating an overlay inode that is
hashed by the real upper inode and instantiating an overlay dentry with
that inode.
