2019-12-10ovl: relax WARN_ON() on rename to selfAmir Goldstein
In ovl_rename(), if new upper is hardlinked to old upper underneath overlayfs before upper dirs are locked, user will get an ESTALE error and a WARN_ON will be printed. Changes to underlying layers while overlayfs is mounted may result in unexpected behavior, but it shouldn't crash the kernel and it shouldn't trigger WARN_ON() either, so relax this WARN_ON().

2019-05-08ovl: relax WARN_ON() for overlapping layers use caseAmir Goldstein
This nasty little syzbot repro: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/repro.syz?x=12c7a94f400000 Creates overlay mounts where the same directory is both in upper and lower layers. Simplified example: mkdir foo work mount -t overlay none foo -o"lowerdir=.,upperdir=foo,workdir=work" The repro runs several threads in parallel that attempt to chdir into foo and attempt to symlink/rename/exec/mkdir the file bar. The repro hits a WARN_ON() I placed in ovl_instantiate(), which suggests that an overlay inode already exists in cache and is hashed by the pointer of the real upper dentry that ovl_create_real() has just created. At the point of the WARN_ON(), for overlay dir inode lock is held and upper dir inode lock, so at first, I did not see how this was possible. On a closer look, I see that after ovl_create_real(), because of the overlapping upper and lower layers, a lookup by another thread can find the file foo/bar that was just created in upper layer, at overlay path foo/foo/bar and hash the an overlay inode with the new real dentry as lower dentry. This is possible because the overlay directory foo/foo is not locked and the upper dentry foo/bar is in dcache, so ovl_lookup() can find it without taking upper dir inode shared lock. Overlapping layers is considered a wrong setup which would result in unexpected behavior, but it shouldn't crash the kernel and it shouldn't trigger WARN_ON() either, so relax this WARN_ON() and leave a pr_warn() instead to cover all cases of failure to get an overlay inode. The error returned from failure to insert new inode to cache with inode_insert5() was changed to -EEXIST, to distinguish from the error -ENOMEM returned on failure to get/allocate inode with iget5_locked().

2018-07-20ovl: Set redirect on upper inode when it is linkedVivek Goyal
When we create a hardlink to a metacopy upper file, first the redirect on that inode. Path based lookup will not work with newly created link and redirect will solve that issue. Also use absolute redirect as two hardlinks could be in different directores and relative redirect will not work. I have not put any additional locking around setting redirects while introducing redirects for non-dir files. For now it feels like existing locking is sufficient. If that's not the case, we will have add more locking. Following is my rationale about why do I think current locking seems ok. Basic problem for non-dir files is that more than on dentry could be pointing to same inode and in theory only relying on dentry based locks (d->d_lock) did not seem sufficient. We set redirect upon rename and upon link creation. In both the paths for non-dir file, VFS locks both source and target inodes (->i_rwsem). That means vfs rename and link operations on same source and target can't he happening in parallel (Even if there are multiple dentries pointing to same inode). So that probably means that at a time on an inode, only one call of ovl_set_redirect() could be working and we don't need additional locking in ovl_set_redirect(). ovl_inode->redirect is initialized only when inode is created new. That means it should not race with any other path and setting ovl_inode->redirect should be fine. Reading of ovl_inode->redirect happens in ovl_get_redirect() path. And this called only in ovl_set_redirect(). And ovl_set_redirect() already seemed to be protected using ->i_rwsem. That means ovl_set_redirect() and ovl_get_redirect() on source/target inode should not make progress in parallel and is mutually exclusive. Hence no additional locking required. Now, only case where ovl_set_redirect() and ovl_get_redirect() could race seems to be case of absolute redirects where ovl_get_redirect() has to travel up the tree. In that case we already take d->d_lock and that should be sufficient as directories will not have multiple dentries pointing to same inode. So given VFS locking and current usage of redirect, current locking around redirect seems to be ok for non-dir as well. Once we have the logic to remove redirect when metacopy file gets copied up, then we probably will need additional locking.

2018-05-31ovl: use inode_insert5() to hash a newly created inodeAmir Goldstein
Currently, there is a small window where ovl_obtain_alias() can race with ovl_instantiate() and create two different overlay inodes with the same underlying real non-dir non-hardlink inode. The race requires an adversary to guess the file handle of the yet to be created upper inode and decode the guessed file handle after ovl_creat_real(), but before ovl_instantiate(). This race does not affect overlay directory inodes, because those are decoded via ovl_lookup_real() and not with ovl_obtain_alias(). This patch fixes the race, by using inode_insert5() to add a newly created inode to cache. If the newly created inode apears to already exist in cache (hashed by the same real upper inode), we instantiate the dentry with the old inode and drop the new inode, instead of silently not hashing the new inode.

2018-01-19ovl: take lower dir inode mutex outside upper sb_writers lockAmir Goldstein
The functions ovl_lower_positive() and ovl_check_empty_dir() both take inode mutex on the real lower dir under ovl_want_write() which takes the upper_mnt sb_writers lock. While this is not a clear locking order or layering violation, it creates an undesired lock dependency between two unrelated layers for no good reason. This lock dependency materializes to a false(?) positive lockdep warning when calling rmdir() on a nested overlayfs, where both nested and underlying overlayfs both use the same fs type as upper layer. rmdir() on the nested overlayfs creates the lock chain: sb_writers of upper_mnt (e.g. tmpfs) in ovl_do_remove() ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[] of lower overlay dir in ovl_lower_positive() rmdir() on the underlying overlayfs creates the lock chain in reverse order: ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[] of lower overlay dir in vfs_rmdir() sb_writers of nested upper_mnt (e.g. tmpfs) in ovl_do_remove() To rid of the unneeded locking dependency, move both ovl_lower_positive() and ovl_check_empty_dir() to before ovl_want_write() in rmdir() and rename() implementation. This change spreads the pieces of ovl_check_empty_and_clear() directly inside the rmdir()/rename() implementations so the helper is no longer needed and removed.

2017-09-13mm: treewide: remove GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flagMichal Hocko
GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is no good answer for those questions. The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits. I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning. I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention. I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and only then add users with proper justification. This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term allocations.

2017-07-27ovl: constant d_ino for non-merge dirsMiklos Szeredi
Impure directories are ones which contain objects with origins (i.e. those that have been copied up). These are relevant to readdir operation only because of the d_ino field, no other transformation is necessary. Also a directory can become impure between two getdents(2) calls. This patch creates a cache for impure directories. Unlike the cache for merged directories, this one only contains entries with origin and is not refcounted but has a its lifetime tied to that of the dentry. Similarly to the merged cache, the impure cache is invalidated based on a version number. This version number is incremented when an entry with origin is added or removed from the directory. If the cache is empty, then the impure xattr is removed from the directory. This patch also fixes up handling of d_ino for the ".." entry if the parent directory is merged.

2017-07-04ovl: persistent overlay inode nlink for indexed inodesAmir Goldstein
With inodes index enabled, an overlay inode nlink counts the union of upper and non-covered lower hardlinks. During the lifetime of a non-pure upper inode, the following nlink modifying operations can happen: 1. Lower hardlink copy up 2. Upper hardlink created, unlinked or renamed over 3. Lower hardlink whiteout or renamed over For the first, copy up case, the union nlink does not change, whether the operation succeeds or fails, but the upper inode nlink may change. Therefore, before copy up, we store the union nlink value relative to the lower inode nlink in the index inode xattr trusted.overlay.nlink. For the second, upper hardlink case, the union nlink should be incremented or decremented IFF the operation succeeds, aligned with nlink change of the upper inode. Therefore, before link/unlink/rename, we store the union nlink value relative to the upper inode nlink in the index inode. For the last, lower cover up case, we simplify things by preceding the whiteout or cover up with copy up. This makes sure that there is an index upper inode where the nlink xattr can be stored before the copied up upper entry is unlink. Return the overlay inode nlinks for indexed upper inodes on stat(2).

2017-07-04ovl: cleanup bad and stale index entries on mountAmir Goldstein
Bad index entries are entries whose name does not match the origin file handle stored in trusted.overlay.origin xattr. Bad index entries could be a result of a system power off in the middle of copy up. Stale index entries are entries whose origin file handle is stale. Stale index entries could be a result of copying layers or removing lower entries while the overlay is not mounted. The case of copying layers should be detected earlier by the verification of upper root dir origin and index dir origin. Both bad and stale index entries are detected and removed on mount.

2017-05-29ovl: mark upper merge dir with type origin entries "impure"Amir Goldstein
An upper dir is marked "impure" to let ovl_iterate() know that this directory may contain non pure upper entries whose d_ino may need to be read from the origin inode. We already mark a non-merge dir "impure" when moving a non-pure child entry inside it, to let ovl_iterate() know not to iterate the non-merge dir directly. Mark also a merge dir "impure" when moving a non-pure child entry inside it and when copying up a child entry inside it. This can be used to optimize ovl_iterate() to perform a "pure merge" of upper and lower directories, merging the content of the directories, without having to read d_ino from origin inodes.

When moving a merge dir or non-dir with copy up origin into a non-merge upper dir (a.k.a pure upper dir), we are marking the target parent dir "impure". ovl_iterate() iterates pure upper dirs directly, because there is no need to filter out whiteouts and merge dir content with lower dir. But for the case of an "impure" upper dir, ovl_iterate() will not be able to iterate the real upper dir directly, because it will need to lookup the origin inode and use it to fill d_ino.

2017-05-05ovl: persistent inode numbers for upper hardlinksAmir Goldstein
An upper type non directory dentry that is a copy up target should have a reference to its lower copy up origin. There are three ways for an upper type dentry to be instantiated: 1. A lower type dentry that is being copied up 2. An entry that is found in upper dir by ovl_lookup() 3. A negative dentry is hardlinked to an upper type dentry In the first case, the lower reference is set before copy up. In the second case, the lower reference is found by ovl_lookup(). In the last case of hardlinked upper dentry, it is not easy to update the lower reference of the negative dentry. Instead, drop the newly hardlinked negative dentry from dcache and let the next access call ovl_lookup() to find its lower reference. This makes sure that the inode number reported by stat(2) after the hardlink is created is the same inode number that will be reported by stat(2) after mount cycle, which is the inode number of the lower copy up origin of the hardlink source. NOTE that this does not fix breaking of lower hardlinks on copy up, but only fixes the case of lower nlink == 1, whose upper copy up inode is hardlinked in upper dir.

2017-03-02statx: Add a system call to make enhanced file info availableDavid Howells
Add a system call to make extended file information available, including file creation and some attribute flags where available through the underlying filesystem. The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*() function. Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage. ======== OVERVIEW ======== The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall with an extended stat structure. A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The following have been included: (1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large. (2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for future expansion. (3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an __s64). (4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime). This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could be exported by NFSD [Steve French]. (5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC). (6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust] (AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC). And the following have been left out for future extension: (7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh Kumar]. Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead. (There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since not all filesystems do this the same way). (8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen) [Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert]. (9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers [Bernd Schubert]. (This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to whether it's a security hole or not). (10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger]. (No particular data were offered, but things like last backup timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come into this category). (11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't exist or are fabricated locally... (This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea for this). (12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in struct xstat [Steve French]. (Deferred to fsinfo). (13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French]. (Deferred to fsinfo). (14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags. Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4 define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too). (Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't be exposed through statx this way). (15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer, Michael Kerrisk]. (Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or seclabal might require extra filesystem operations). (16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner]. (A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for this - if there proves to be a need). (17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this. =============== NEW SYSTEM CALL =============== The new system call is: int ret = statx(int dfd, const char *filename, unsigned int flags, unsigned int mask, struct statx *buffer); The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd. Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically only affects network filesystems): (1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this respect. (2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to occur to get the timestamps correct. (3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered approximate. mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for more information may entail extra I/O operations. buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in size. ====================== MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD ====================== The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute set: struct statx_timestamp { __s64 tv_sec; __s32 tv_nsec; __s32 __reserved; }; struct statx { __u32 stx_mask; __u32 stx_blksize; __u64 stx_attributes; __u32 stx_nlink; __u32 stx_uid; __u32 stx_gid; __u16 stx_mode; __u16 __spare0[1]; __u64 stx_ino; __u64 stx_size; __u64 stx_blocks; __u64 __spare1[1]; struct statx_timestamp stx_atime; struct statx_timestamp stx_btime; struct statx_timestamp stx_ctime; struct statx_timestamp stx_mtime; __u32 stx_rdev_major; __u32 stx_rdev_minor; __u32 stx_dev_major; __u32 stx_dev_minor; __u64 __spare2[14]; }; The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are: STATX_TYPE Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT STATX_MODE Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT STATX_NLINK Want/got stx_nlink STATX_UID Want/got stx_uid STATX_GID Want/got stx_gid STATX_ATIME Want/got stx_atime{,_ns} STATX_MTIME Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns} STATX_CTIME Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns} STATX_INO Want/got stx_ino STATX_SIZE Want/got stx_size STATX_BLOCKS Want/got stx_blocks STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct] STATX_BTIME Want/got stx_btime{,_ns} STATX_ALL [All currently available stuff] stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be placed. Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond fields will also be negative if not zero. The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value: STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by: KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS [Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed through this interface?] New flags include: STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially, depending on what they are. Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes: (0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize. These are local system information and are always available. (1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino, stx_size, stx_blocks. These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they actually have valid values. If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server, unless as a byproduct of updating something requested. If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask, even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned value will be a fabrication. Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for instance Windows reparse points. (2) stx_rdev_*. This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0. (3) stx_btime. Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist. ======= TESTING ======= The following test program can be used to test the statx system call: samples/statx/test-statx.c Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine. The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled. Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

2016-12-16ovl: clean up kstat usageAl Viro
FWIW, there's a bit of abuse of struct kstat in overlayfs object creation paths - for one thing, it ends up with a very small subset of struct kstat (mode + rdev), for another it also needs link in case of symlinks and ends up passing it separately. IMO it would be better to introduce a separate object for that. In principle, we might even lift that thing into general API and switch ->mkdir()/->mknod()/->symlink() to identical calling conventions. Hell knows, perhaps ->create() as well...

The benefit of making directories opaque on creation is that lookups can stop short when they reach the original created directory, instead of continue lookup the entire depth of parent directory stack. The best case is overlay with N layers, performing lookup for first level directory, which exists only in upper. In that case, there will be only one lookup instead of N.
