Container folks are complaining that dnf/yum issues too many sync while
installing packages and this slows down the image build. Build requirement
is such that they don't care if a node goes down while build was still
going on. In that case, they will simply throw away unfinished layer and
start new build. So they don't care about syncing intermediate state to the
disk and hence don't want to pay the price associated with sync.
So they are asking for mount options where they can disable sync on overlay
mount point.
They primarily seem to have two use cases.
- For building images, they will mount overlay with nosync and then sync
upper layer after unmounting overlay and reuse upper as lower for next
layer.
- For running containers, they don't seem to care about syncing upper layer
because if node goes down, they will simply throw away upper layer and
create a fresh one.
So this patch provides a mount option "volatile" which disables all forms
of sync. Now it is caller's responsibility to throw away upper if system
crashes or shuts down and start fresh.
With "volatile", I am seeing roughly 20% speed up in my VM where I am just
installing emacs in an image. Installation time drops from 31 seconds to 25
seconds when nosync option is used. This is for the case of building on top
of an image where all packages are already cached. That way I take out the
network operations latency out of the measurement.
Giuseppe is also looking to cut down on number of iops done on the disk. He
is complaining that often in cloud their VMs are throttled if they cross
the limit. This option can help them where they reduce number of iops (by
cutting down on frequent sync and writebacks).

An incompatible feature is marked by a non-empty directory nested
2 levels deep under "work" dir, e.g.:
workdir/work/incompat/volatile.
This commit checks for marked incompat features, warns about them
and fails to mount the overlay, for example:
overlayfs: overlay with incompat feature 'volatile' cannot be mounted
Very old kernels (i.e. v3.18) will fail to remove a non-empty "work"
dir and fail the mount. Newer kernels will fail to remove a "work"
dir with entries nested 3 levels and fall back to read-only mount.
User mounting with old kernel will see a warning like these in dmesg:
overlayfs: cleanup of 'incompat/...' failed (-39)
overlayfs: cleanup of 'work/incompat' failed (-39)
overlayfs: cleanup of 'ovl-work/work' failed (-39)
overlayfs: failed to create directory /vdf/ovl-work/work (errno: 17);
mounting read-only
These warnings should give the hint to the user that:
1. mount failure is caused by backward incompatible features
2. mount failure can be resolved by manually removing the "work" directory
There is nothing preventing users on old kernels from manually removing
workdir entirely or mounting overlay with a new workdir, so this is in
no way a full proof backward compatibility enforcement, but only a best
effort.

Fon non-merge directories we use the underlying filesystem's iterate; in

userspace will only see the artificial offsets created by overlayfs.

So far, with xino=auto, we only enable xino if we know that all
underlying filesystem use 32bit inode numbers.
When users configure overlay with xino=auto, they already declare that
they are ready to handle 64bit inode number from overlay.
It is a very common case, that underlying filesystem uses 64bit ino,
but rarely or never uses the high inode number bits (e.g. tmpfs, xfs).
Leaving it for the users to declare high ino bits are unused with
xino=on is not a recipe for many users to enjoy the benefits of xino.
There appears to be very little reason not to enable xino when users
declare xino=auto even if we do not know how many bits underlying
filesystem uses for inode numbers.
In the worst case of xino bits overflow by real inode number, we
already fall back to the non-xino behavior - real inode number with
unique pseudo dev or to non persistent inode number and overlay st_dev
(for directories).
The only annoyance from auto enabling xino is that xino bits overflow
emits a warning to kmsg. Suppress those warnings unless users explicitly
asked for xino=on, suggesting that they expected high ino bits to be
unused by underlying filesystem.

When xino feature is enabled and a real directory inode number overflows
the lower xino bits, we cannot map this directory inode number to a unique
and persistent inode number and we fall back to the real inode st_ino and
overlay st_dev.
The real inode st_ino with high bits may collide with a lower inode number
on overlay st_dev that was mapped using xino.
To avoid possible collision with legitimate xino values, map a non
persistent inode number to a dedicated range in the xino address space.
The dedicated range is created by adding one more bit to the number of
reserved high xino bits. We could have added just one more fsid, but that
would have had the undesired effect of changing persistent overlay inode
numbers on kernel or require more complex xino mapping code.

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.

unifying the inum space. It would be nice if it wasn't a choice of 32

could change on resize, so it wouldn't be set in stone).

With index=on, ovl_indexdir_cleanup() tries to cleanup invalid index

Instead, abort mount if such entries are encountered. We still cleanup
'stale' entries and 'orphan' entries, both those cases can be a result
of offline changes to lower and upper dirs.
When encoutering an index entry of type directory or whiteout, kernel
was supposed to fallback to read-only mount, but the fill_super()
operation returns EROFS in this case instead of returning success with
read-only mount flag, so mount fails when encoutering directory or
whiteout index entries. Bless this behavior by returning -EINVAL on

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.

When all layers are on the same fs, and iterating a directory which may
contain copy up entries, call vfs_getattr() on the overlay entries to make

There is an overhead of lookup per upper entry in readdir.
The overhead is minimal if the iterated entries are already in dcache. It
is also quite useful for the common case of 'ls -l' that readdir() pre
populates the dcache with the listed entries, making the following stat()

When mounting overlayfs it needs a clean "work" directory under the
supplied workdir.
Previously the mount code removed this directory if it already existed and
created a new one. If the removal failed (e.g. directory was not empty)
then it fell back to a read-only mount not using the workdir.
While this has never been reported, it is possible to get a non-empty
"work" dir from a previous mount of overlayfs in case of crash in the
middle of an operation using the work directory.
In this case the left over state should be discarded and the overlay
filesystem will be consistent, guaranteed by the atomicity of operations on
moving to/from the workdir to the upper layer.
This patch implements cleaning out any files left in workdir. It is
implemented using real recursion for simplicity, but the depth is limited
to 2, because the worst case is that of a directory containing whiteouts
under "work".

ovl: Do d_type check only if work dir creation was successful
ovl: update documentation
ovl: override creds with the ones from the superblock mounter
In user namespace the whiteout creation fails with -EPERM because the
current process isn't capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) when setting xattr.
A simple reproducer:
$ mkdir upper lower work merged lower/dir
$ sudo mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merged
$ unshare -m -p -f -U -r bash
Now as root in the user namespace:
\# touch merged/dir/{1,2,3} # this will force a copy up of lower/dir
\# rm -fR merged/*
This ends up failing with -EPERM after the files in dir has been
correctly deleted:
unlinkat(4, "2", 0) = 0
unlinkat(4, "1", 0) = 0
unlinkat(4, "3", 0) = 0
close(4) = 0
unlinkat(AT_FDCWD, "merged/dir", AT_REMOVEDIR) = -1 EPERM (Operation not
permitted)
Interestingly, if you don't place files in merged/dir you can remove it,
meaning if upper/dir does not exist, creating the char device file works
properly in that same location.
This patch uses ovl_sb_creator_cred() to get the cred struct from the
superblock mounter and override the old cred with these new ones so that
the whiteout creation is possible because overlay is wrong in assuming that
the creds it will get with prepare_creds will be in the initial user
namespace. The old cap_raise game is removed in favor of just overriding
the old cred struct.
This patch also drops from ovl_copy_up_one() the following two lines:
override_cred->fsuid = stat->uid;
override_cred->fsgid = stat->gid;
This is because the correct uid and gid are taken directly with the stat
struct and correctly set with ovl_set_attr().

ta-da!
The main issue is the lack of down_write_killable(), so the places
like readdir.c switched to plain inode_lock(); once killable
variants of rwsem primitives appear, that'll be dealt with.
lockdep side also might need more work

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.

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).
Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
only shared.

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
