This regression can be reproduced with ntfs-3g and overlayfs:

  mkdir lower upper work overlay
  dd if=/dev/zero of=ntfs.raw bs=1M count=2
  mkntfs -F ntfs.raw
  mount ntfs.raw lower
  touch lower/file.txt
  mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work - overlay
  mv overlay/file.txt overlay/file2.txt

mv fails and (misleadingly) prints

  mv: cannot move 'overlay/file.txt' to a subdirectory of itself, 'overlay/file2.txt'

The reason is that ovl_copy_fileattr() is triggered due to S_NOATIME being
set on all inodes (by fuse) regardless of fileattr.

ovl_copy_fileattr() tries to retrieve file attributes from lower file, but
that fails because filesystem does not support this ioctl (this should fail
with ENOTTY, but ntfs-3g return EINVAL instead).  This failure is
propagated to origial operation (in this case rename) that triggered the
copy-up.

The fix is to ignore ENOTTY and EINVAL errors from fileattr_get() in copy
up.  This also requires turning the internal ENOIOCTLCMD into ENOTTY.

As a further measure to prevent unnecessary failures, only try the
fileattr_get/set on upper if there are any flags to copy up.

Side note: a number of filesystems set S_NOATIME (and sometimes other inode
flags) irrespective of fileattr flags.  This causes unnecessary calls
during copy up, which might lead to a performance issue, especially if
latency is high.  To fix this, the kernel would need to differentiate
between the two cases.  E.g. introduce SB_NOATIME_UPDATE, a per-sb variant
of S_NOATIME.  SB_NOATIME doesn't work, because that's interpreted as
"filesystem doesn't store an atime attribute"

Syzbot triggered the following warning in ovl_workdir_create() -&gt;
ovl_create_real():

	if (!err &amp;&amp; WARN_ON(!newdentry-&gt;d_inode)) {

The reason is that the cgroup2 filesystem returns from mkdir without
instantiating the new dentry.

Weird filesystems such as this will be rejected by overlayfs at a later
stage during setup, but to prevent such a warning, call ovl_mkdir_real()
directly from ovl_workdir_create() and reject this case early.

<title>ovl: fix use after free in struct ovl_aio_req</title>

<id>9a254403760041528bc8f69fe2f5e1ef86950991</id>
<content type='text'>
Example for triggering use after free in a overlay on ext4 setup:

aio_read
  ovl_read_iter
    vfs_iter_read
      ext4_file_read_iter
        ext4_dio_read_iter
          iomap_dio_rw -&gt; -EIOCBQUEUED
          /*
	   * Here IO is completed in a separate thread,
	   * ovl_aio_cleanup_handler() frees aio_req which has iocb embedded
	   */
          file_accessed(iocb-&gt;ki_filp); /**BOOM**/

Fix by introducing a refcount in ovl_aio_req similarly to aio_kiocb.  This
guarantees that iocb is only freed after vfs_read/write_iter() returns on
underlying fs.

The second argument was only used by the USB gadget code, yet everyone
pays the overhead of passing a zero to be passed into aio, where it
ends up being part of the aio res2 value.

Now that everybody is passing in zero, kill off the extra argument.

Normally the check at open time suffices, but e.g loop device does set
IOCB_DIRECT after doing its own checks (which are not sufficent for
overlayfs).

Make sure we don't call the underlying filesystem read/write method with
the IOCB_DIRECT if it's not supported.

Overlayfs does not cache ACL's (to avoid double caching).  Instead it just
calls the underlying filesystem's i_op-&gt;get_acl(), which will return the
cached value, if possible.

In rcu path walk, however, get_cached_acl_rcu() is employed to get the
value from the cache, which will fail on overlayfs resulting in dropping
out of rcu walk mode.  This can result in a big performance hit in certain
situations.

Fix by calling -&gt;get_acl() with rcu=true in case of ACL_DONT_CACHE (which
indicates pass-through)
