 "Another round of SPDX updates for 5.2-rc6

  Here is what I am guessing is going to be the last "big" SPDX update
  for 5.2. It contains all of the remaining GPLv2 and GPLv2+ updates
  that were "easy" to determine by pattern matching. The ones after this
  are going to be a bit more difficult and the people on the spdx list
  will be discussing them on a case-by-case basis now.

  Another 5000+ files are fixed up, so our overall totals are:
	Files checked:            64545
	Files with SPDX:          45529

  Compared to the 5.1 kernel which was:
	Files checked:            63848
	Files with SPDX:          22576

  This is a huge improvement.

  Also, we deleted another 20000 lines of boilerplate license crud,
  always nice to see in a diffstat"

<title>ovl: make i_ino consistent with st_ino in more cases</title>

Relax the condition that overlayfs supports nfs export, to require
that i_ino is consistent with st_ino/d_ino.

It is enough to require that st_ino and d_ino are consistent.

This fixes the failure of xfstest generic/504, due to mismatch of
st_ino to inode number in the output of /proc/locks.

NFS mounts can be disconnected from fs root.  Don't fail the overlapping

The check is not authoritative anyway, since topology can change during or

<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 ...

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
$ mv base/upper/0/ base/lower/
$ find mnt/0
  mnt/0
  mnt/0/w
  find: 'mnt/0/w/work': Too many levels of symbolic links
  find: 'mnt/0/u': Too many levels of symbolic links

<title>ovl: support the FS_IOC_FS[SG]ETXATTR ioctls</title>

They are the extended version of FS_IOC_FS[SG]ETFLAGS ioctls.
xfs_io -c "chattr &lt;flags&gt;" uses the new ioctls for setting flags.

This used to work in kernel pre v4.19, before stacked file ops
introduced the ovl_ioctl whitelist.
