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().

2015-06-22ovl: allow distributed fs as lower layerMiklos Szeredi
Allow filesystems with .d_revalidate as lower layer(s), but not as upper layer. For local filesystems the rule was that modifications on the layers directly while being part of the overlay results in undefined behavior. This can easily be extended to distributed filesystems: we assume the tree used as lower layer is static, which means ->d_revalidate() should always return "1". If that is not the case, return -ESTALE, don't try to work around the modification. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2015-06-22ovl: don't traverse automount pointsMiklos Szeredi
NFS and other distributed filesystems may place automount points in the tree. Previoulsy overlayfs refused to mount such filesystems types (based on the existence of the .d_automount callback), even if the actual export didn't have any automount points. It cannot be determined in advance whether the filesystem has automount points or not. The solution is to allow fs with .d_automount but refuse to traverse any automount points encountered.

2015-06-19overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlayDavid Howells
Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in /proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it). Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see: [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107 [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/ ... lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:38 5 -> /a/foo107 [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107 ...

Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command. It was pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107 (which is correct).

2015-05-19ovl: mount read-only if workdir can't be createdMiklos Szeredi
OpenWRT folks reported that overlayfs fails to mount if upper fs is full, because workdir can't be created. Wordir creation can fail for various other reasons too. There's no reason that the mount itself should fail, overlayfs can work fine without a workdir, as long as the overlay isn't modified. So mount it read-only and don't allow remounting read-write. Add a couple of WARN_ON()s for the impossible case of workdir being used despite being read-only.

2015-05-14ovl: don't remove non-empty opaque directoryMiklos Szeredi
When removing an opaque directory we can't just call rmdir() to check for emptiness, because the directory will need to be replaced with a whiteout. The replacement is done with RENAME_EXCHANGE, which doesn't check emptiness. Solution is just to check emptiness by reading the directory. In the future we could add a new rename flag to check for emptiness even for RENAME_EXCHANGE to optimize this case.

2015-05-10new ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventionsAl Viro
a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_ that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer is ignored in all cases except the last one. Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call of ->put_link(). b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata). Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition to returning it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2015-03-18ovl: upper fs should not be R/Ohujianyang
After importing multi-lower layer support, users could mount a r/o partition as the left most lowerdir instead of using it as upperdir. And a r/o upperdir may cause an error like overlayfs: failed to create directory ./workdir/work during mount. This patch check the *s_flags* of upper fs and return an error if it is a r/o partition. The checking of *upper_mnt->mnt_sb->s_flags* can be removed now. This patch also remove /* FIXME: workdir is not needed for a R/O mount */ from ovl_fill_super() because: 1) for upper fs r/o case Setting a r/o partition as upper is prevented, no need to care about workdir in this case. 2) for "mount overlay -o ro" with a r/w upper fs case Users could remount overlayfs to r/w in this case, so workdir should not be omitted.

2015-02-22VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry)David Howells
Convert the following where appropriate: (1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry). (2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry). (3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with a ->d_automount op. In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer). Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the type of the lower dentry. However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem. There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes. The following perl+coccinelle script was used: use strict; my @callers; open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*->d_inode\' |') || die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers"; @callers = <$fd>; close($fd); unless (@callers) { print "No matches\n"; exit(0); } my @cocci = ( '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISLNK(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_symlink(E)', '', '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISDIR(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_dir(E)', '', '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISREG(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_reg(E)' ); my $coccifile = "tmp.sp.cocci"; open($fd, ">$coccifile") || die $coccifile; print($fd "$_\n") || die $coccifile foreach (@cocci); close($fd); foreach my $file (@callers) { chomp $file; print "Processing ", $file, "\n"; system("spatch", "--sp-file", $coccifile, $file, "--in-place", "--no-show-diff") == 0 || die "spatch failed"; } [AV: overlayfs parts skipped] Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2015-01-08ovl: Fix opaque regression in ovl_lookuphujianyang
Current multi-layer support overlayfs has a regression in .lookup(). If there is a directory in upperdir and a regular file has same name in lowerdir in a merged directory, lower file is hidden and upper directory is set to opaque in former case. But it is changed in present code. In lowerdir lookup path, if a found inode is not directory, the type checking of previous inode is missing. This inode will be copied to the lowerstack of ovl_entry directly. That will lead to several wrong conditions, for example, the reading of the directory in upperdir may return an error like: ls: reading directory .: Not a directory This patch makes the lowerdir lookup path check the opaque for non-directory file too.

Xattr operations can race with copy up. This does not matter as long as we consistently fiter out "trunsted.overlay.opaque" attribute on upper directories. Previously we checked parent against OVL_PATH_MERGE. This is too general, and prone to race with copy-up. I.e. we found the parent to be on the lower layer but ovl_dentry_real() would return the copied-up dentry, possibly with the "opaque" attribute.

Previously we used a "type" value computed before locking the upper parent directory, which is susceptible to racing with copy-up. There's a similar check in ovl_check_empty_and_clear(). This one is not actually racy, since copy-up doesn't change the "emptyness" property of a directory.
