<title>ovl: detect overlapping layers</title>

<content type='text'>
Overlapping overlay layers are not supported and can cause unexpected
behavior, but overlayfs does not currently check or warn about these
configurations.

User is not supposed to specify the same directory for upper and
lower dirs or for different lower layers and user is not supposed to
specify directories that are descendants of each other for overlay
layers, but that is exactly what this zysbot repro did:

    https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/repro.syz?x=12c7a94f400000

Moving layer root directories into other layers while overlayfs
is mounted could also result in unexpected behavior.

This commit places "traps" in the overlay inode hash table.
Those traps are dummy overlay inodes that are hashed by the layers
root inodes.

On mount, the hash table trap entries are used to verify that overlay
layers are not overlapping.  While at it, we also verify that overlay
layers are not overlapping with directories "in-use" by other overlay
instances as upperdir/workdir.

On lookup, the trap entries are used to verify that overlay layers
root inodes have not been moved into other layers after mount.

Some examples:

$ ./run --ov --samefs -s
...
( mkdir -p base/upper/0/u base/upper/0/w base/lower lower upper mnt
  mount -o bind base/lower lower
  mount -o bind base/upper upper
  mount -t overlay none mnt ...
        -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper/0/u,workdir=upper/0/w)

$ umount mnt
$ mount -t overlay none mnt ...
        -o lowerdir=base,upperdir=upper/0/u,workdir=upper/0/w

  [   94.434900] overlayfs: overlapping upperdir path
  mount: mount overlay on mnt failed: Too many levels of symbolic links

$ mount -t overlay none mnt ...
        -o lowerdir=upper/0/u,upperdir=upper/0/u,workdir=upper/0/w

  [  151.350132] overlayfs: conflicting lowerdir path
  mount: none is already mounted or mnt busy

$ mount -t overlay none mnt ...
        -o lowerdir=lower:lower/a,upperdir=upper/0/u,workdir=upper/0/w

  [  201.205045] overlayfs: overlapping lowerdir path
  mount: mount overlay on mnt failed: Too many levels of symbolic links

$ mount -t overlay none mnt ...
        -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper/0/u,workdir=upper/0/w

$ find mnt/0

<title>ovl: Do not lose security.capability xattr over metadata file copy-up</title>

<content type='text'>
If a file has been copied up metadata only, and later data is copied up,
upper loses any security.capability xattr it has (underlying filesystem
clears it as upon file write).

From a user's point of view, this is just a file copy-up and that should
not result in losing security.capability xattr.  Hence, before data copy
up, save security.capability xattr (if any) and restore it on upper after
data copy up is complete.

It just makes the interface strange without adding any significant value.
The only case where locked is false and return value is 0 is in
ovl_rename() when new is negative, so handle that case explicitly in
ovl_rename().

<title>ovl: relax requirement for non null uuid of lower fs</title>

<id>9df085f3c9a2d4658a9fe323d70c200aa00ede93</id>
<content type='text'>
We use uuid to associate an overlay lower file handle with a lower layer,
so we can accept lower fs with null uuid as long as all lower layers with
null uuid are on the same fs.

This change allows enabling index and nfs_export features for the setup of
single lower fs of type squashfs - squashfs supports file handles, but has
a null uuid. This change also allows enabling index and nfs_export features
for nested overlayfs, where the lower overlay has nfs_export enabled.

Enabling the index feature with single lower squashfs fixes the
unionmount-testsuite test:
  ./run --ov --squashfs --verify

As a by-product, if, like the lower squashfs, upper fs also uses the
generic export_encode_fh() implementation to export 32bit inode file
handles (e.g. ext4), then the xino_auto config/module/mount option will
enable unique overlay inode numbers.

<title>ovl: Check redirect on index as well</title>

Right now we seem to check redirect only if upperdentry is found.  But it
is possible that there is no upperdentry but later we found an index.

We need to check redirect on index as well and set it in
ovl_inode-&gt;redirect.  Otherwise link code can assume that dentry does not
have redirect and place a new one which breaks things.  In my testing
overlay/033 test started failing in xfstests.  Following are the details.

For example do following.

$ mkdir lower upper work merged

 - Make lower dir with 4 links.
  $ echo "foo" &gt; lower/l0.txt
  $ ln  lower/l0.txt lower/l1.txt
  $ ln  lower/l0.txt lower/l2.txt
  $ ln  lower/l0.txt lower/l3.txt

 - Mount with index on and metacopy on.

  $ mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work,\
                        index=on,metacopy=on none merged

 - Link lower

  $ ln merged/l0.txt merged/l4.txt
    (This will metadata copy up of l0.txt and put an absolute redirect
     /l0.txt)

  $ echo 2 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop/caches

  $ ls merged/l1.txt
  (Now l1.txt will be looked up.  There is no upper dentry but there is
   lower dentry and index will be found.  We don't check for redirect on
   index, hence ovl_inode-&gt;redirect will be NULL.)

 - Link Upper

  $ ln merged/l4.txt merged/l5.txt
  (Lookup of l4.txt will use inode from l1.txt lookup which is still in
   cache.  It has ovl_inode-&gt;redirect NULL, hence link will put a new
   redirect and replace /l0.txt with /l4.txt

 - Drop caches.
  echo 2 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

 - List l1.txt and it returns -ESTALE

  $ ls merged/l0.txt

  (It returns stale because, we found a metacopy of l0.txt in upper and it
   has redirect l4.txt but there is no file named l4.txt in lower layer.
   So lower data copy is not found and -ESTALE is returned.)

So problem here is that we did not process redirect on index.  Check
redirect on index as well and then problem is fixed.

If a dentry has copy up origin, we set flag OVL_PATH_ORIGIN.  So far this
decision was easy that we had to check only for oe-&gt;numlower and if it is
non-zero, we knew there is copy up origin.  (For non-dir we installed
origin dentry in lowerstack[0]).

But we don't create ORGIN xattr for broken hardlinks (index=off).  And with
metacopy feature it is possible that we will install lowerstack[0] but
ORIGIN xattr is not there.  It is data dentry of upper metacopy dentry
which has been found using regular name based lookup or using REDIRECT.  So
with addition of this new case, just presence of oe-&gt;numlower is not
sufficient to guarantee that ORIGIN xattr is present.

So to differentiate between two cases, look at OVL_CONST_INO flag.  If this
flag is set and upperdentry is there, that means it can be marked as type
ORIGIN.  OVL_CONST_INO is not set if lower hardlink is broken or will be
broken over copy up.

Right now OVL_PATH_MERGE is used only for merged directories.  But
conceptually, a metacopy dentry (backed by a lower data dentry) is a merged
entity as well.

So mark metacopy dentries as OVL_PATH_MERGE and ovl_rename() makes use of
this property later to set redirect on a metacopy file.
