With NFS export, some operations on decoded file handles (e.g. open, link, setattr, xattr_set) may call copy up with a disconnected non-dir. In this case, we will copy up lower inode to index dir without linking it to upper dir. Signed-off-by:

Orphan index entries are non-dir index entries whose union nlink count dropped to zero. With index=on, orphan index entries are removed on mount. With NFS export feature enabled, orphan index entries are replaced with white out index entries to block future open by handle from opening the lower file. When dir index has a stale 'upper' xattr, we assume that the upper dir was removed and we treat the dir index as orphan entry that needs to be whited out or removed. Signed-off-by:

With NFS export feature enabled, when overlay inode nlink drops to zero, instead of removing the index entry, replace it with a whiteout index entry. This is needed for NFS export in order to prevent future open by handle from opening the lower file directly. Signed-off-by:

With the NFS export feature enabled, all dirs are indexed on copy up. Non-dir files are copied up directly to indexdir and then hardlinked to upper dir. Directories are copied up to indexdir, then an index entry is created in indexdir with 'upper' xattr pointing to the copied up dir and then the copied up dir is moved to upper dir. Directory index is also used for consistency verification, like detecting multiple redirected dirs to the same lower dir on lookup. Signed-off-by:

With the NFS export feature enabled, all non-dir are indexed on copy up. The copy up origin inode of an indexed non-dir can be used as a unique identifier of the overlay object. The full index is also used for consistency verfication, like detecting multiple non-hardlink uppers with the same 'origin' on lookup. Directory index on copy up will be implemented by following patch. Signed-off-by:

The helper determines which lower file needs to be indexed on copy up and before nlink changes. For index=on, the helper evaluates to true for lower hardlinks. Signed-off-by:

A previous failed attempt to create or whiteout a directory index may leave index entries named '#%x' in the index dir. Cleanup those temp entries on mount instead of failing the mount. In the future, we may drop 'work' dir and use 'index' dir instead. This change is enough for cleaning up copy up leftovers 'from the future', but it is not enough for cleaning up rmdir leftovers 'from the future' (i.e. temp dir containing whiteouts). Signed-off-by:

Directory index entries should have 'upper' xattr pointing to the real upper dir. Verifying that the upper dir file handle is not stale is expensive, so only verify stale directory index entries on mount if NFS export feature is enabled. Signed-off-by:
-
Amir Goldstein authored
Whiteout index entries are used as an indication that an exported overlay file handle should be treated as stale (i.e. after unlink of the overlay inode). Check on mount that whiteout index entries have a name that looks like a valid file handle and cleanup invalid index entries. For whiteout index entries, do not check that they also have valid origin fh and nlink xattr, because those xattr do not exist for a whiteout index entry. Signed-off-by:

A directory index is a directory type entry in index dir with a "trusted.overlay.upper" xattr containing an encoded ovl_fh of the merge directory upper dir inode. On lookup of non-dir files, lower file is followed by origin file handle. On lookup of dir entries, lower dir is found by name and then compared to origin file handle. We only trust dir index if we verified that lower dir matches origin file handle, otherwise index may be inconsistent and we ignore it. If we find an indexed non-upper dir or an indexed merged dir, whose index 'upper' xattr points to a different upper dir, that means that the lower directory may be also referenced by another upper dir via redirect, so we fail the lookup on inconsistency error. To be consistent with directory index entries format, the association of index dir to upper root dir, that was stored by older kernels in "trusted.overlay.origin" xattr is now stored in "trusted.overlay.upper" xattr. This also serves as an indication that overlay was mounted with a kernel that support index directory entries. For backward compatibility, if an 'origin' xattr exists on the index dir we also verify it on mount. Directory index entries are going to be used for NFS export. Signed-off-by:

On a malformed overlay, several redirected dirs can point to the same dir on a lower layer. This presents a similar challenge as broken hardlinks, because different objects in the overlay can return the same st_ino/st_dev pair from stat(2). For broken hardlinks, we do not provide constant st_ino on copy up to avoid this inconsistency. When NFS export feature is enabled, apply the same logic to files and directories with unverified lower origin. Signed-off-by:

When the NFS export feature is enabled, overlayfs implicitly enables the feature "verify_lower". When the "verify_lower" feature is enabled, a directory inode found in lower layer by name or by redirect_dir is verified against the file handle of the copy up origin that is stored in the upper layer. This introduces a change of behavior for the case of lower layer modification while overlay is offline. A lower directory created or moved offline under an exisitng upper directory, will not be merged with that upper directory. The NFS export feature should not be used after copying layers, because the new lower directory inodes would fail verification and won't be merged with upper directories. Signed-off-by:

Introduce the "nfs_export" config, module and mount options. The NFS export feature depends on the "index" feature and enables two implicit overlayfs features: "index_all" and "verify_lower". The "index_all" feature creates an index on copy up of every file and directory. The "verify_lower" feature uses the full index to detect overlay filesystems inconsistencies on lookup, like redirect from multiple upper dirs to the same lower dir. NFS export can be enabled for non-upper mount with no index. However, because lower layer redirects cannot be verified with the index, enabling NFS export support on an overlay with no upper layer requires turning off redirect follow (e.g. "redirect_dir=nofollow"). The full index may incur some overhead on mount time, especially when verifying that lower directory file handles are not stale. NFS export support, full index and consistency verification will be implemented by following patches. Signed-off-by:

Amir Goldstein authored
Remove the "origin" language from the functions that handle set, get and verify of "origin" xattr and pass the xattr name as an argument. The same helpers are going to be used for NFS export to get, get and verify the "upper" xattr for directory index entries. ovl_verify_origin() is now a helper used only to verify non upper file handle stored in "origin" xattr of upper inode. The upper root dir file handle is still stored in "origin" xattr on the index dir for backward compatibility. This is going to be changed by the patch that adds directory index entries support.

Pass the fs instance with lower_layers array instead of the dentry lowerstack array to ovl_check_origin_fh(), because the dentry members of lowerstack play no role in this helper. This change simplifies the argument list of ovl_check_origin(), ovl_cleanup_index() and ovl_verify_index(). Signed-off-by:

Re-factor ovl_check_origin() and ovl_get_origin(), so origin fh xattr is read from upper inode only once during lookup with multiple lower layers and only once when verifying index entry origin. Signed-off-by:

Store the fs root layer index inside ovl_layer struct, so we can get the root fs layer index from merge dir lower layer instead of find it with ovl_find_layer() helper. Signed-off-by:

When work dir creation fails, a warning is emitted and overlay is mounted r/o. Trying to remount r/w will fail with no work dir. When index dir creation fails, the same warning is emitted and overlay is mounted r/o, but trying to remount r/w will succeed. This may cause unintentional corruption of filesystem consistency. Adjust the behavior of index dir creation failure to that of work dir creation failure and do not allow to remount r/w. User needs to state an explicitly intention to work without an index by mounting with option 'index=off' to allow r/w mount with no index dir. When mounting with option 'index=on' and no 'upperdir', index is implicitly disabled, so do not warn about no file handle support. The issue was introduced with inodes index feature in v4.13, but this patch will not apply cleanly before ovl_fill_super() re-factoring in v4.15.

Overlayfs falls back to index=off if lower/upper fs does not support file handles. Do the same if upper fs does not support xattr. Signed-off-by:
-
Amir Goldstein authored
For a merge dir that was copied up before v4.12 or that was hand crafted offline (e.g. mkdir {upper/lower}/dir), upper dir does not contain the 'trusted.overlay.origin' xattr. In that case, stat(2) on the merge dir returns the lower dir st_ino, but getdents(2) returns the upper dir d_ino. After this change, on merge dir lookup, missing origin xattr on upper dir will be fixed and 'impure' xattr will be fixed on parent of the legacy merge dir.

The optimization in ovl_cache_get_impure() that tries to remove an unneeded "impure" xattr needs to take mnt_want_write() on upper fs. Fixes: 4edb83bb ("ovl: constant d_ino for non-merge dirs") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> #v4.14 Signed-off-by:

Amir Goldstein authored
There are several write operations on upper fs not covered by mnt_want_write(): - test set/remove OPAQUE xattr - test create O_TMPFILE - set ORIGIN xattr in ovl_verify_origin() - cleanup of index entries in ovl_indexdir_cleanup() Some of these go way back, but this patch only applies over the v4.14 re-factoring of ovl_fill_super().

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. Signed-off-by:

As a writable mount, it is not expected for overlayfs to return EINVAL/EROFS for fsync, even if dir/file is not changed. This commit fixes the case of fsync of directory, which is easier to address, because overlayfs already implements fsync file operation for directories. The problem reported by Raphael is that new PostgreSQL 10.0 with a database in overlayfs where lower layer in squashfs fails to start. The failure is due to fsync error, when PostgreSQL does fsync on all existing db directories on startup and a specific directory exists lower layer with no changes. Reported-by:

fsnotify pins a watched directory inode in cache, but if directory dentry is released, new lookup will allocate a new dentry and a new inode. Directory events will be notified on the new inode, while fsnotify listener is watching the old pinned inode. Hash all directory inodes to reuse the pinned inode on lookup. Pure upper dirs are hashes by real upper inode, merge and lower dirs are hashed by real lower inode. The reference to lower inode was being held by the lower dentry object in the overlay dentry (oe->lowerstack[0]). Releasing the overlay dentry may drop lower inode refcount to zero. Add a refcount on behalf of the overlay inode to prevent that. As a by-product, hashing directory inodes also detects multiple redirected dirs to the same lower dir and uncovered redirected dir target on and returns -ESTALE on lookup. The reported issue dates back to initial version of overlayfs, but this patch depends on ovl_inode code that was introduced in kernel v4.13. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> #v4.13 Reported-by:

Remove the compile time warning when CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y and the compiler does not have retpoline support. Linus rationale for this is: It's wrong because it will just make people turn off RETPOLINE, and the asm updates - and return stack clearing - that are independent of the compiler are likely the most important parts because they are likely the ones easiest to target. And it's annoying because most people won't be able to do anything about it. The number of people building their own compiler? Very small. So if their distro hasn't got a compiler yet (and pretty much nobody does), the warning is just annoying crap. It is already properly reported as part of the sysfs interface. The compile-time warning only encourages bad things. Fixes: 76b04384 ("x86/retpoline: Add initial retpoline support") Requested-by:
