 "A varied set of changes:

   - a fix for long stalls during fsync (Jeff Layton). The client now
     has a way to force the MDS log flush, leading to ~100x speedups in
     some synthetic tests.

   - a new [no]require_active_mds mount option (Zheng Yan).

     On mount, we will now check whether any of the MDSes are available
     and bail rather than block if none are. This check can be avoided
     by specifying the "no" option.

   - a couple of MDS cap handling fixes and a few assorted patches

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

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.

one lookup instead of N.

This patch introduces a kernel config option and a module param.  Both can

Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

Before introducing redirect_dir feature, the condition
!ovl_lower_positive(dentry) for a directory, implied that it is a pure
upper directory, which may be removed if empty.

Now that directory can be redirect, it is possible that upper does not
cover any lower (i.e. !ovl_lower_positive(dentry)), but the directory is a
merge (with redirected path) and maybe non empty.

Check for this case in ovl_remove_upper().

This change fixes the following test case from rename-pop-dir.py
of unionmount-testsuite:

    """Remove dir and rename old name"""
    d = ctx.non_empty_dir()
    d2 = ctx.no_dir()

    ctx.rmdir(d, err=ENOTEMPTY)
    ctx.rename(d, d2)
    ctx.rmdir(d, err=ENOENT)

Current code returns EXDEV when a directory would need to be copied up to
move.  We could copy up the directory tree in this case, but there's
another, simpler solution: point to old lower directory from moved upper
directory.

This is achieved with a "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr storing the path
relative to the root of the overlay.  After such attribute has been set,
the directory can be moved without further actions required.

This is a backward incompatible feature, old kernels won't be able to
correctly mount an overlay containing redirected directories.
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

If a directory has the "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr, it means that the
value of the xattr should be used to find the underlying directory on the
next lower layer.

The redirect may be relative or absolute.  Absolute redirects begin with a
slash.

A relative redirect means: instead of the current dentry's name use the
value of the redirect to find the directory in the next lower
layer. Relative redirects must not contain a slash.

An absolute redirect means: look up the directory relative to the root of
the overlay using the value of the redirect in the next lower layer.

Redirects work on lower layers as well.
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

Use a common helper for lookup of upper and lower layers.  This paves the
way for looking up directory redirects.

Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

When the upper overlayfs checks "trusted.overlay.*" xattr on the underlying
overlayfs mount, it gets -EPERM, which confuses the upper overlayfs.

Fix this by returning -EOPNOTSUPP instead of -EPERM from
ovl_own_xattr_get() and ovl_own_xattr_set().  This behavior is consistent
with the behavior of ovl_listxattr(), which filters out the private
overlayfs xattrs.

Note: nested overlays are deprecated.  But this change makes sense
regardless: these xattrs are private to the overlay and should always be
hidden.  Hence getting and setting them should indicate this.

[SzMi: Use EOPNOTSUPP instead of ENODATA and use it for both getting and
setting "trusted.overlay." xattrs.  This is a perfectly valid error code
for "we don't support this prefix", which is the case here.]

If encountering a non-directory, then stop looking at lower layers.

Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

Check if something exists on the lower layer(s) under the target or rename
to decide if directory needs to be marked "opaque".

Marking opaque is done before the rename, and on failure the marking was
undone.  Also the opaque xattr was removed if the target didn't cover
anything.

This patch changes behavior so that removal of "opaque" is not done in
either of the above cases.  This means that directory may have the opaque
flag even if it doesn't cover anything.  However this shouldn't affect the
performance or semantics of the overalay, while simplifying the code.

The remainging uses of __OVL_PATH_PURE can be replaced by
ovl_dentry_is_opaque().
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

Currently ovl_lookup() checks existence of lower file even if there's a
non-directory on upper (which is always opaque).  This is done so that
remove can decide whether a whiteout is needed or not.

It would be better to defer this check to unlink, since most of the time
the gathered information about opaqueness will be unused.

This adds a helper ovl_lower_positive() that checks if there's anything on
the lower layer(s).

The following patches also introduce changes to how the "opaque" attribute
is updated on directories: this attribute is added when the directory is
creted or moved over a whiteout or object covering something on the lower
layer.  However following changes will allow the attribute to remain on the
directory after being moved, even if the new location doesn't cover
anything.  Because of this, we need to check lower layers even for opaque
directories, so that whiteout is only created when necessary.

This function will later be also used to decide about marking a directory
opaque, so deal with negative dentries as well.  When dealing with
negative, it's enough to check for being a whiteout

If the dentry is positive but not upper then it also obviously needs
whiteout/opaque.

And use it instead of ovl_dentry_is_opaque() where appropriate.

Since commit 07a2daab ("ovl: Copy up underlying inode's ->i_mode to
overlay inode") sticky checking on overlay inode is performed by the vfs,
so checking against sticky on underlying inode is not needed.

This is redundant, the vfs already performed this check (and was broken,
see commit 9409e22a ("vfs: rename: check backing inode being equal")).

No sense in opening special files on the underlying layers, they work just
as well if opened on the overlay.

Side effect is that it's no longer possible to connect one side of a pipe
opened on overlayfs with the other side opened on the underlying layer.

When copying up within the same fs, try to use vfs_clone_file_range().
This is very efficient when lower and upper are on the same fs
with file reflink support. If vfs_clone_file_range() fails for any
reason, copy up falls back to the regular data copy code.

Tested correct behavior when lower and upper are on:
1. same ext4 (copy)
2. same xfs + reflink patches + mkfs.xfs (copy)
3. same xfs + reflink patches + mkfs.xfs -m reflink=1 (reflink)
4. different xfs + reflink patches + mkfs.xfs -m reflink=1 (copy)

For comparison, on my laptop, xfstest overlay/001 (copy up of large
sparse files) takes less than 1 second in the xfs reflink setup vs.
25 seconds on the rest of the setups.
