Pull erofs (and fscache) updates from Gao Xiang:
"After working on it on the mailing list for more than half a year, we
finally form 'erofs over fscache' feature into shape. Hopefully it
could bring more possibility to the communities.
The story mainly started from a new project what we called "RAFS v6" [1]
for Nydus image service almost a year ago, which enhances EROFS to be
a new form of one bootstrap (which includes metadata representing the
whole fs tree) + several data-deduplicated content addressable blobs
(actually treated as multiple devices). Each blob can represent one
container image layer but not quite exactly since all new data can be
fully existed in the previous blobs so no need to introduce another
new blob.
It is actually not a new idea (at least on my side it's much like a
simpilied casync [2] for now) and has many benefits over per-file
blobs or some other exist ways since typically each RAFS v6 image only
has dozens of device blobs instead of thousands of per-file blobs.
It's easy to be signed with user keys as a golden image, transfered
untouchedly with minimal overhead over the network, kept in some type
of storage conveniently, and run with (optional) runtime verification
but without involving too many irrelevant features crossing the system
beyond EROFS itself. At least it's our final goal and we're keeping
working on it. There was also a good summary of this approach from the
casync author [3].
Regardless further optimizations, this work is almost done in the
previous Linux release cycles. In this round, we'd like to introduce
on-demand load for EROFS with the fscache/cachefiles infrastructure,
considering the following advantages:
- Introduce new file-based backend to EROFS. Although each image only
contains dozens of blobs but in densely-deployed runC host for
example, there could still be massive blobs on a machine, which is
messy if each blob is treated as a device. In contrast, fscache and
cachefiles are really great interfaces for us to make them work.
- Introduce on-demand load to fscache and EROFS. Previously, fscache
is mainly used to caching network-likewise filesystems, now it can
support on-demand downloading for local fses too with the exact
localfs on-disk format. It has many advantages which we're been
described in the latest patchset cover letter [4]. In addition to
that, most importantly, the cached data is still stored in the
original local fs on-disk format so that it's still the one signed
with private keys but only could be partially available. Users can
fully trust it during running. Later, users can also back up
cachefiles easily to another machine.
- More reliable on-demand approach in principle. After data is all
available locally, user daemon can be no longer online in some use
cases, which helps daemon crash recovery (filesystems can still in
service) and hot-upgrade (user daemon can be upgraded more
frequently due to new features or protocols introduced.)
- Other format can also be converted to EROFS filesystem format over
the internet on the fly with the new on-demand load feature and
mounted. That is entirely possible with on-demand load feature as
long as such archive format metadata can be fetched in advance like
stargz.
In addition, although currently our target user is Nydus image service [5],
but laterly, it can be used for other use cases like on-demand system
booting, etc. As for the fscache on-demand load feature itself,
strictly it can be used for other local fses too. Laterly we could
promote most code to the iomap infrastructure and also enhance it in
the read-write way if other local fses are interested.
Thanks David Howells for taking so much time and patience on this
these months, many thanks with great respect here again! Thanks Jeffle
for working on this feature and Xin Yin from Bytedance for
asynchronous I/O implementation as well as Zichen Tian, Jia Zhu, and
Yan Song for testing, much appeciated. We're also exploring more
possibly over fscache cache management over FSDAX for secure
containers and working on more improvements and useful features for
fscache, cachefiles, and on-demand load.
In addition to "erofs over fscache", NFS export and idmapped mount are
also completed in this cycle for container use cases as well.
Summary:
- Add erofs on-demand load support over fscache
- Support NFS export for erofs
- Support idmapped mounts for erofs
- Don't prompt for risk any more when using big pcluster
- Fix buffer copy overflow of ztailpacking feature
- Several minor cleanups"
