ovl: fix oopses in ovl_fill_super() failure paths

2018-09-26T06:39:30Z

commit 8c25741aaad8be6fbe51510e917c740e0059cf83 upstream. ovl_free_fs() dereferences ofs->workbasedir and ofs->upper_mnt in cases when those might not have been initialized yet. Fix the initialization order for these fields.

ovl: return dentry from ovl_create_real()

ovl: add support for "xino" mount and config options

2018-04-12T10:04:50Z

With mount option "xino=on", mounter declares that there are enough free high bits in underlying fs to hold the layer fsid. If overlayfs does encounter underlying inodes using the high xino bits reserved for layer fsid, a warning will be emitted and the original inode number will be used. The mount option name "xino" goes after a similar meaning mount option of aufs, but in overlayfs case, the mapping is stateless. An example for a use case of "xino=on" is when upper/lower is on an xfs filesystem. xfs uses 64bit inode numbers, but it currently never uses the upper 8bit for inode numbers exposed via stat(2) and that is not likely to change in the future without user opting-in for a new xfs feature. The actual number of unused upper bit is much larger and determined by the xfs filesystem geometry (64 - agno_log - agblklog - inopblog). That means that for all practical purpose, there are enough unused bits in xfs inode numbers for more than OVL_MAX_STACK unique fsid's. Another use case of "xino=on" is when upper/lower is on tmpfs. tmpfs inode numbers are allocated sequentially since boot, so they will practially never use the high inode number bits. For compatibility with applications that expect 32bit inodes, the feature can be disabled with "xino=off". The option "xino=auto" automatically detects underlying filesystem that use 32bit inodes and enables the feature. The Kconfig option OVERLAY_FS_XINO_AUTO and module parameter of the same name, determine if the default mode for overlayfs mount is "xino=auto" or "xino=off".

ovl: constant st_ino for non-samefs with xino

2018-04-12T10:04:50Z

On 64bit systems, when overlay layers are not all on the same fs, but all inode numbers of underlying fs are not using the high bits, use the high bits to partition the overlay st_ino address space. The high bits hold the fsid (upper fsid is 0). This way overlay inode numbers are unique and all inodes use overlay st_dev. Inode numbers are also persistent for a given layer configuration. Currently, our only indication for available high ino bits is from a filesystem that supports file handles and uses the default encode_fh() operation, which encodes a 32bit inode number.

ovl: allocate anon bdev per unique lower fs

2018-04-12T10:04:50Z

Instead of allocating an anonymous bdev per lower layer, allocate one anonymous bdev per every unique lower fs that is different than upper fs. Every unique lower fs is assigned an fsid > 0 and the number of unique lower fs are stored in ofs->numlowerfs. The assigned fsid is stored in the lower layer struct and will be used also for inode number multiplexing. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

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

2018-02-16T14:53:20Z

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 Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi
