Kernel v6.5 converted overlayfs to new mount api.
As an added bonus, it also added a feature to allow appending lowerdirs
using lowerdir=:/lower2,lowerdir=::/data3 syntax.
This new syntax has raised some concerns regarding escaping of colons.
We decided to try and disable this syntax, which hasn't been in the wild
for so long and introduce it again in 6.7 using explicit mount options
lowerdir+=/lower2,datadir+=/data3.

Fixes: b36a5780cb ("ovl: modify layer parameter parsing")
Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>
Before commit b36a5780cb ("ovl: modify layer parameter parsing"),
spaces and commas in lowerdir mount option value used to be escaped using
seq_show_option().
In current upstream, when lowerdir value has a space, it is not escaped
in /proc/mounts, e.g.:
none /mnt overlay rw,relatime,lowerdir=l l,upperdir=u,workdir=w 0 0
which results in broken output of the mount utility:
none on /mnt type overlay (rw,relatime,lowerdir=l)
Store the original lowerdir mount options before unescaping and show
them using the same escaping used for seq_show_option() in addition to
escaping the colon separator character.

Ever since commit 91c7794713 ("ovl: allow filenames with comma"), the
following example was legit overlayfs mount options:
mount -t overlay overlay -o 'lowerdir=/tmp/a\,b/lower' /mnt
The conversion to new mount api moved to using the common helper
generic_parse_monolithic() and discarded the specialized ovl_next_opt()
option separator.
Bring back ovl_next_opt() and use vfs_parse_monolithic_sep() to fix the
regression.

ovl_permission() accesses ->layers[...].mnt; we can't have ->layers
freed without an RCU delay on fs shutdown.
Fortunately, kern_unmount_array() that is used to drop those mounts
does include an RCU delay, so freeing is delayed; unfortunately, the
array passed to kern_unmount_array() is formed by mangling ->layers
contents and that happens without any delays.
The ->layers[...].name string entries are used to store the strings to
display in "lowerdir=..." by ovl_show_options(). Those entries are not
accessed in RCU walk.
Move the name strings into a separate array ofs->config.lowerdirs and
reuse the ofs->config.lowerdirs array as the temporary mount array to
pass to kern_unmount_array().

trying to set the atime and mtime via notify_change without also
setting the ctime.
POSIX states that when the atime and mtime are updated via utimes() that
we must also update the ctime to the current time. The situation with
overlayfs copy-up is analogies, so add ATTR_CTIME to the bitmask.
notify_change will fill in the value.

Some local filesystems support setting persistent fileattr flags
(e.g. FS_NOATIME_FL) on directories and regular files via ioctl.
Some of those persistent fileattr flags are reflected to vfs as
in-memory inode flags (e.g. S_NOATIME).
Overlayfs uses the in-memory inode flags (e.g. S_NOATIME) on a lower file
as an indication that a the lower file may have persistent inode fileattr
flags (e.g. FS_NOATIME_FL) that need to be copied to upper file.
However, in some cases, the S_NOATIME in-memory flag could be a false
indication for persistent FS_NOATIME_FL fileattr. For example, with NFS
and FUSE lower fs, as was the case in the two bug reports, the S_NOATIME
flag is set unconditionally for all inodes.
Users cannot set persistent fileattr flags on symlinks and special files,
but in some local fs, such as ext4/btrfs/tmpfs, the FS_NOATIME_FL fileattr
flag are inheritted to symlinks and special files from parent directory.
In both cases described above, when lower symlink has the S_NOATIME flag,
overlayfs will try to copy the symlink's fileattrs and fail with error
ENOXIO, because it could not open the symlink for the ioctl security hook.
To solve this failure, do not attempt to copyup fileattrs for anything
other than directories and regular files.

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
filesystems.
The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide to invalidate the cache.
Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
(e.g., backup applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.
This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
actively queried.
This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.
As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.
Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
coarse-grained timestamps.
Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:
- Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
maintainers provided necessary Acks.
- Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
as requiring accessors.
- Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.
- Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.
- Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
removing a bunch of open-coding"

The legacy behavior of ovl_statfs() reports the f_fsid filled by
underlying upper fs. This fsid is not unique among overlayfs instances
on the same upper fs.
With mount option uuid=on, generate a non-persistent uuid per overlayfs
instance and use it as the seed for f_fsid, similar to tmpfs.
This is useful for reporting fanotify events with fid info from different
instances of overlayfs over the same upper fs.
The old behavior of null uuid and upper fs fsid is retained with the
mount option uuid=null, which is the default.
The mount option uuid=off that disables uuid checks in underlying layers
also retains the legacy behavior.

When all layers support file handles, we support encoding non-decodable
file handles (a.k.a. fid) even with nfs_export=off.
When file handles do not need to be decoded, we do not need to copy up
redirected lower directories on encode, and we encode also non-indexed
upper with lower file handle, so fid will not change on copy up.
This enables reporting fanotify events with file handles on overlayfs
with default config/mount options.

The new digest field in the metacopy xattr is used during lookup to
record whether the header contained a digest in the OVL_HAS_DIGEST
flags.
When accessing file data the first time, if OVL_HAS_DIGEST is set, we
reload the metadata and check that the source lowerdata inode matches
the specified digest in it (according to the enabled verity
options). If the verity check passes we store this info in the inode
flags as OVL_VERIFIED_DIGEST, so that we can avoid doing it again if
the inode remains in memory.
The verification is done in ovl_maybe_validate_verity() which needs to
be called in the same places as ovl_maybe_lookup_lowerdata(), so there
is a new ovl_verify_lowerdata() helper that calls these in the right
order, and all current callers of ovl_maybe_lookup_lowerdata() are

Historically overlay.metacopy was a zero-size xattr, and it's
existence marked a metacopy file. This change adds a versioned header
with a flag field, a length and a digest. The initial use-case of this
will be for validating a fs-verity digest, but the flags field could
also be used later for other new features.
ovl_check_metacopy_xattr() now returns the size of the xattr,
emulating a size of OVL_METACOPY_MIN_SIZE for empty xattrs to

This adds the scaffolding (docs, config, mount options) for supporting
the new digest field in the metacopy xattr. This contains a fs-verity
digest that need to match the fs-verity digest of the lowerdata
file. The mount option "verity" specifies how this xattr is handled.
If you enable verity ("verity=on") all existing xattrs are validated
before use, and during metacopy we generate verity xattr in the upper
metacopy file (if the source file has verity enabled). This means
later accesses can guarantee that the same data is used.
Additionally you can use "verity=require". In this mode all metacopy
files must have a valid verity xattr. For this to work metadata
copy-up must be able to create a verity xattr (so that later accesses
are validated). Therefore, in this mode, if the lower data file
doesn't have fs-verity enabled we fall back to a full copy rather than
a metacopy.
Actual implementation follows in a separate commit.

All users now just use '->iterate_shared()', which only takes the
directory inode lock for reading.
Filesystems that never got convered to shared mode now instead use a
wrapper that drops the lock, re-takes it in write mode, calls the old
function, and then downgrades the lock back to read mode.
This way the VFS layer and other callers no longer need to care about
filesystems that never got converted to the modern era.
The filesystems that use the new wrapper are ceph, coda, exfat, jfs,
ntfs, ocfs2, overlayfs, and vboxsf.
Honestly, several of them look like they really could just iterate their
directories in shared mode and skip the wrapper entirely, but the point
of this change is to not change semantics or fix filesystems that
haven't been fixed in the last 7+ years, but to finally get rid of the
dual iterators.

partially closed an IMA integrity issue when directly modifying a file
on the lower filesystem. If the overlay file is first opened by a user
and later the lower backing file is modified by root, but the extended
attribute is NOT updated, the signature validation succeeds with the old

Pull splice updates from Jens Axboe:
"This kills off ITER_PIPE to avoid a race between truncate,
iov_iter_revert() on the pipe and an as-yet incomplete DMA to a bio
with unpinned/unref'ed pages from an O_DIRECT splice read. This causes
memory corruption.
Instead, we either use (a) filemap_splice_read(), which invokes the
buffered file reading code and splices from the pagecache into the
pipe; (b) copy_splice_read(), which bulk-allocates a buffer, reads
into it and then pushes the filled pages into the pipe; or (c) handle
it in filesystem-specific code.
Summary:
- Rename direct_splice_read() to copy_splice_read()
- Simplify the calculations for the number of pages to be reclaimed
in copy_splice_read()
- Turn do_splice_to() into a helper, vfs_splice_read(), so that it
can be used by overlayfs and coda to perform the checks on the
lower fs
- Make vfs_splice_read() jump to copy_splice_read() to handle
direct-I/O and DAX
- Provide shmem with its own splice_read to handle non-existent pages
in the pagecache. We don't want a ->read_folio() as we don't want
to populate holes, but filemap_get_pages() requires it
- Provide overlayfs with its own splice_read to call down to a lower
layer as overlayfs doesn't provide ->read_folio()
- Provide coda with its own splice_read to call down to a lower layer
as coda doesn't provide ->read_folio()
- Direct ->splice_read to copy_splice_read() in tty, procfs, kernfs
and random files as they just copy to the output buffer and don't
splice pages
- Provide wrappers for afs, ceph, ecryptfs, ext4, f2fs, nfs, ntfs3,
ocfs2, orangefs, xfs and zonefs to do locking and/or revalidation
- Make cifs use filemap_splice_read()
- Replace pointers to generic_file_splice_read() with pointers to
filemap_splice_read() as DIO and DAX are handled in the caller;
filesystems can still provide their own alternate ->splice_read()
op
- Remove generic_file_splice_read()

Using the old mount api to remount an overlayfs superblock via
mount(MS_REMOUNT) all mount options will be silently ignored. For
example, if you create an overlayfs mount:
mount -t overlay overlay -o lowerdir=/mnt/a:/mnt/b,upperdir=/mnt/upper,workdir=/mnt/work /mnt/merged
and then issue a remount via:
# force mount(8) to use mount(2)
export LIBMOUNT_FORCE_MOUNT2=always
mount -t overlay overlay -o remount,WOOTWOOT,lowerdir=/DOESNT-EXIST /mnt/merged
with completely nonsensical mount options whatsoever it will succeed
nonetheless. This prevents us from every changing any mount options we
might introduce in the future that could reasonably be changed during a
remount.
We don't need to carry this issue into the new mount api port. Similar
to FUSE we can use the fs_context::oldapi member to figure out that this
is a request coming through the legacy mount api. If we detect it we
continue silently ignoring all mount options.
But for the new mount api we simply report that mount options cannot
currently be changed. This will allow us to potentially alter mount
properties for new or even old properties. It any case, silently
ignoring everything is not something new apis should do.

We ran into issues where mount(8) passed multiple lower layers as one
big string through fsconfig(). But the fsconfig() FSCONFIG_SET_STRING
option is limited to 256 bytes in strndup_user(). While this would be
fixable by extending the fsconfig() buffer I'd rather encourage users to
append layers via multiple fsconfig() calls as the interface allows
nicely for this. This has also been requested as a feature before.
With this port to the new mount api the following will be possible:
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", "/lower1", 0);
/* set upper layer */
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "upperdir", "/upper", 0);
/* append "/lower2", "/lower3", and "/lower4" */
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", ":/lower2:/lower3:/lower4", 0);
/* turn index feature on */
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "index", "on", 0);
/* append "/lower5" */
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", ":/lower5", 0);
Specifying ':' would have been rejected so this isn't a regression. And
we can't simply use "lowerdir=/lower" to append on top of existing
layers as "lowerdir=/lower,lowerdir=/other-lower" would make
"/other-lower" the only lower layer so we'd break uapi if we changed
this. So the ':' prefix seems a good compromise.
Users can choose to specify multiple layers at once or individual
layers. A layer is appended if it starts with ":". This requires that
the user has already added at least one layer before. If lowerdir is
specified again without a leading ":" then all previous layers are
dropped and replaced with the new layers. If lowerdir is specified and
empty than all layers are simply dropped.
An additional change is that overlayfs will now parse and resolve layers
right when they are specified in fsconfig() instead of deferring until
super block creation. This allows users to receive early errors.
It also allows users to actually use up to 500 layers something which
was theoretically possible but ended up not working due to the mount
option string passed via mount(2) being too large.
This also allows a more privileged process to set config options for a
lesser privileged process as the creds for fsconfig() and the creds for
fsopen() can differ. We could restrict that they match by enforcing that
the creds of fsopen() and fsconfig() match but I don't see why that
needs to be the case and allows for a good delegation mechanism.
Plus, in the future it means we're able to extend overlayfs mount
options and allow users to specify layers via file descriptors instead
of paths:
fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_PATH{_EMPTY}, "lowerdir", "lower1", dirfd);
/* append */
fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_PATH{_EMPTY}, "lowerdir", "lower2", dirfd);
/* append */
fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_PATH{_EMPTY}, "lowerdir", "lower3", dirfd);
/* clear all layers specified until now */
fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", NULL, 0);
This would be especially nice if users create an overlayfs mount on top
of idmapped layers or just in general private mounts created via
open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE). Those mounts would then never have to appear
anywhere in the filesystem. But for now just do the minimal thing.
We should probably aim to move more validation into ovl_fs_parse_param()
so users get errors before fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE). But that can
be done in additional patches later.
This is now also rebased on top of the lazy lowerdata lookup which
allows the specificatin of data only layers using the new "::" syntax.
The rules are simple. A data only layers cannot be followed by any
regular layers and data layers must be preceeded by at least one regular
layer.
Parsing the lowerdir mount option must change because of this. The
original patchset used the old lowerdir parsing function to split a
lowerdir mount option string such as:
lowerdir=/lower1:/lower2::/lower3::/lower4
simply replacing each non-escaped ":" by "\0". So sequences of
non-escaped ":" were counted as layers. For example, the previous
lowerdir mount option above would've counted 6 layers instead of 4 and a
lowerdir mount option such as:
lowerdir="/lower1:/lower2::/lower3::/lower4:::::::::::::::::::::::::::"
would be counted as 33 layers. Other than being ugly this didn't matter
much because kern_path() would reject the first "\0" layer. However,
this overcounting of layers becomes problematic when we base allocations
on it where we very much only want to allocate space for 4 layers
instead of 33.
So the new parsing function rejects non-escaped sequences of colons
other than ":" and "::" immediately instead of relying on kern_path().

Overlayfs creates the real underlying files with fake f_path, whose
f_inode is on the underlying fs and f_path on overlayfs.
Those real files were open with FMODE_NONOTIFY, because fsnotify code was
not prapared to handle fsnotify hooks on files with fake path correctly
and fanotify would report unexpected event->fd with fake overlayfs path,
when the underlying fs was being watched.
Teach fsnotify to handle events on the real files, and do not set real
files to FMODE_NONOTIFY to allow operations on real file (e.g. open,
access, modify, close) to generate async and permission events.
Because fsnotify does not have notifications on address space
operations, we do not need to worry about ->vm_file not reporting
events to a watched overlayfs when users are accessing a mapped
overlayfs file.

We recently ported util-linux to the new mount api. Now the mount(8)
tool will by default use the new mount api. While trying hard to fall
back to the old mount api gracefully there are still cases where we run
into issues that are difficult to handle nicely.
Now with mount(8) and libmount supporting the new mount api I expect an
increase in the number of bug reports and issues we're going to see with
filesystems that don't yet support the new mount api. So it's time we
rectify this.
When ovl_fill_super() fails before setting sb->s_root, we need to cleanup
sb->s_fs_info. The logic is a bit convoluted but tl;dr: If sget_fc() has
succeeded fc->s_fs_info will have been transferred to sb->s_fs_info.
So by the time ->fill_super()/ovl_fill_super() is called fc->s_fs_info
is NULL consequently fs_context->free() won't call ovl_free_fs().
If we fail before sb->s_root() is set then ->put_super() won't be called
which would call ovl_free_fs(). IOW, if we fail in ->fill_super() before
sb->s_root we have to clean it up.

Do all the logic to set the mode during mount options parsing and
do not keep the option string around.
Use a constant_table to translate from enum redirect mode to string
in preperation for new mount api option parsing.
The mount option "off" is translated to either "follow" or "nofollow",
depending on the "redirect_always_follow" build/module config, so
in effect, there are only three possible redirect modes.
This results in a minor change to the string that is displayed
in show_options() - when redirect_dir is enabled by default and the user
mounts with the option "redirect_dir=off", instead of displaying the mode
"redirect_dir=off" in show_options(), the displayed mode will be either
"redirect_dir=follow" or "redirect_dir=nofollow", depending on the value
of "redirect_always_follow" build/module config.
The displayed mode reflects the effective mode, so mounting overlayfs
again with the dispalyed redirect_dir option will result with the same
effective and displayed mode.

Porting overlayfs to the new amount api I started experiencing random
crashes that couldn't be explained easily. So after much debugging and
reasoning it became clear that struct ovl_entry requires the point to
struct vfsmount to be the first member and of type struct vfsmount.
During the port I added a new member at the beginning of struct
ovl_entry which broke all over the place in the form of random crashes
and cache corruptions. While there's a comment in ovl_free_fs() to the
effect of "Hack! Reuse ofs->layers as a vfsmount array before freeing
it" there's no such comment on struct ovl_entry which makes this easy to
trip over.
Add a comment and two static asserts for both the offset and the type of
pointer in struct ovl_entry.

Defer lookup of lowerdata in the data-only layers to first data access
or before copy up.
We perform lowerdata lookup before copy up even if copy up is metadata
only copy up. We can further optimize this lookup later if needed.
We do best effort lazy lookup of lowerdata for d_real_inode(), because
this interface does not expect errors. The only current in-tree caller
of d_real_inode() is trace_uprobe and this caller is likely going to be
followed reading from the file, before placing uprobes on offset within
the file, so lowerdata should be available when setting the uprobe.
