The 'is_merge' is an historical naming from when only a single lower layer
could exist. With the introduction of multiple lower layers the meaning of
this flag was changed to mean only the "lowest layer" (while all lower
layers were being merged).
So now 'is_merge' is inaccurate and hence renaming to 'is_lowest'

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.

This patch fixes kernel crash at removing directory which contains
whiteouts from lower layers.
Cache of directory content passed as "list" contains entries from all
layers, including whiteouts from lower layers. So, lookup in upper dir
(moved into work at this stage) will return negative entry. Plus this
cache is filled long before and we can race with external removal.
Example:
mkdir -p lower0/dir lower1/dir upper work overlay
touch lower0/dir/a lower0/dir/b
mknod lower1/dir/a c 0 0
mount -t overlay none overlay -o lowerdir=lower1:lower0,upperdir=upper,workdir=work
rm -fr overlay/dir

If jffs2 can deadlock on overlayfs readdir because it takes the same lock
on ->iterate() as in ->lookup().
Fix by moving whiteout checking outside iterate_dir(). Optimized by
collecting potential whiteouts (DT_CHR) in a temporary list and if
non-empty iterating throug these and checking for a 0/0 chardev.

Since the ovl_dir_cache is stable during a directory reading, the cursor
of struct ovl_dir_file don't need to be an independent entry in the list
of a merged directory.
This patch changes *cursor* to a pointer which points to the entry in the
ovl_dir_cache. After this, we don't need to check *is_cursor* either.

Not checking whiteouts on lowest layer was an optimization (there's nothing
to white out there), but it could result in inconsitent behavior when a
layer previously used as upper/middle is later used as lowest.

If multiple lower layers exist, merge them as well in readdir according to
the same rules as merging upper with lower. I.e. take whiteouts and opaque
directories into account on all but the lowers layer.

Don't make a separate pass for checking whiteouts, since we can do it while
reading the upper directory.
This will make it easier to handle multiple layers.

ovl_cache_put() can be called from ovl_dir_reset() if the cache needs to be

In an overlay directory that shadows an empty lower directory, say
/mnt/a/empty102, do:
touch /mnt/a/empty102/x
unlink /mnt/a/empty102/x
rmdir /mnt/a/empty102
It's actually harmless, but needs another level of nesting between
I_MUTEX_CHILD and I_MUTEX_NORMAL.

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
The following cotributions have been folded into this patch:

- fix a deadlock in ovl_remove_whiteouts
Erez Zadok <ezk@fsl.cs.sunysb.edu>
- fix cleanup after WARN_ON
Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@googlemail.com>

Robin Dong <hao.bigrat@gmail.com>
- fix possible leak in ovl_new_inode
- create new inode in ovl_link
Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com>
- switch to __inode_permission()
- copy up i_uid/i_gid from the underlying inode
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.

* copyup/remove and copyup/rename races
