So far, with xino=auto, we only enable xino if we know that all
underlying filesystem use 32bit inode numbers.
When users configure overlay with xino=auto, they already declare that
they are ready to handle 64bit inode number from overlay.
It is a very common case, that underlying filesystem uses 64bit ino,
but rarely or never uses the high inode number bits (e.g. tmpfs, xfs).
Leaving it for the users to declare high ino bits are unused with
xino=on is not a recipe for many users to enjoy the benefits of xino.
There appears to be very little reason not to enable xino when users
declare xino=auto even if we do not know how many bits underlying
filesystem uses for inode numbers.
In the worst case of xino bits overflow by real inode number, we
already fall back to the non-xino behavior - real inode number with
unique pseudo dev or to non persistent inode number and overlay st_dev
(for directories).
The only annoyance from auto enabling xino is that xino bits overflow
emits a warning to kmsg. Suppress those warnings unless users explicitly
asked for xino=on, suggesting that they expected high ino bits to be
unused by underlying filesystem.

When xino feature is enabled and a real directory inode number overflows
the lower xino bits, we cannot map this directory inode number to a unique
and persistent inode number and we fall back to the real inode st_ino and
overlay st_dev.
The real inode st_ino with high bits may collide with a lower inode number
on overlay st_dev that was mapped using xino.
To avoid possible collision with legitimate xino values, map a non
persistent inode number to a dedicated range in the xino address space.
The dedicated range is created by adding one more bit to the number of
reserved high xino bits. We could have added just one more fsid, but that
would have had the undesired effect of changing persistent overlay inode
numbers on kernel or require more complex xino mapping code.

There is no reason to deplete the system's global get_next_ino() pool for
overlay non-persistent inode numbers and there is no reason at all to
allocate non-persistent inode numbers for non-directories.
For non-directories, it is much better to leave i_ino the same as real
i_ino, to be consistent with st_ino/d_ino.

Overlayfs works sub-optimally with upper fs that has no xattr/d_type/
RENAME_WHITEOUT support. We should basically deprecate support for those
filesystems, but so far, we only issue a warning and don't fail the mount
for the sake of backward compat. Some features are already being disabled
with no xattr support.
For newly supported remote upper fs, we do not need to worry about backward
compatibility, so we can fail the mount if upper fs is a sub-optimal
filesystem.
This reduces the in-tree remote filesystems supported as upper to just
FUSE, for which the remote upper fs support was added.

2. xino=auto on 32bit arch should end up in disabled mode
Take a proactive approach to disabling xino on 32bit kernel:
1. Disable XINO_AUTO config during build time
2. Disable xino with a warning on mount time
As a by product, xino=on on 32bit arch also ends up in disabled mode.
We never intended to enable xino on 32bit arch and this will make the

A performance regression was observed since linux v4.19 with aio test using
fio with iodepth 128 on overlayfs. The queue depth of the device was
always 1 which is unexpected.
After investigation, it was found that commit 16914e6fc7 ("ovl: add
ovl_read_iter()") and commit 2a92e07edc ("ovl: add ovl_write_iter()")
resulted in vfs_iter_{read,write} being called on underlying filesystem,
which always results in syncronous IO.
Implement async IO for stacked reading and writing. This resolves the
performance regresion.
This is implemented by allocating a new kiocb for submitting the AIO
request on the underlying filesystem. When the request is completed, the
new kiocb is freed and the completion callback is called on the original
iocb.

On non-samefs overlay without xino, non pure upper inodes should use a
pseudo_dev assigned to each unique lower fs, but if lower layer is on the
same fs and upper layer, it has no pseudo_dev assigned.
In this overlay layers setup:
- two filesystems, A and B
- upper layer is on A
- lower layer 1 is also on A
- lower layer 2 is on B
Non pure upper overlay inode, whose origin is in layer 1 will have the
st_dev;st_ino values of the real lower inode before copy up and the
st_dev;st_ino values of the real upper inode after copy up.
Fix this inconsitency by assigning a unique pseudo_dev also for upper fs,
that will be used as st_dev value along with the lower inode st_dev for
overlay inodes in the case above.

In the past, overlayfs required that lower fs have non null uuid in
order to support nfs export and decode copy up origin file handles.
Commit 9df085f3c9 ("ovl: relax requirement for non null uuid of
lower fs") relaxed this requirement for nfs export support, as long
as uuid (even if null) is unique among all lower fs.
However, said commit unintentionally also relaxed the non null uuid
requirement for decoding copy up origin file handles, regardless of
the unique uuid requirement.
Amend this mistake by disabling decoding of copy up origin file handle
from lower fs with a conflicting uuid.
We still encode copy up origin file handles from those fs, because
file handles like those already exist in the wild and because they
might provide useful information in the future.
There is an unhandled corner case described by Miklos this way:
- two filesystems, A and B, both have null uuid
- upper layer is on A
- lower layer 1 is also on A
- lower layer 2 is on B
In this case bad_uuid won't be set for B, because the check only
involves the list of lower fs. Hence we'll try to decode a layer 2
origin on layer 1 and fail.
We will deal with this corner case later.

Once upon a time, commit 2cac0c00a6 ("ovl: get exclusive ownership on
upper/work dirs") in v4.13 added some sanity checks on overlayfs layers.
This change caused a docker regression. The root cause was mount leaks
by docker, which as far as I know, still exist.
To mitigate the regression, commit 85fdee1eef ("ovl: fix regression
caused by exclusive upper/work dir protection") in v4.14 turned the
mount errors into warnings for the default index=off configuration.
Recently, commit 146d62e5a5 ("ovl: detect overlapping layers") in
v5.2, re-introduced exclusive upper/work dir checks regardless of
index=off configuration.
This changes the status quo and mount leak related bug reports have
started to re-surface. Restore the status quo to fix the regressions.
To clarify, index=off does NOT relax overlapping layers check for this
ovelayfs mount. index=off only relaxes exclusive upper/work dir checks
with another overlayfs mount.
To cover the part of overlapping layers detection that used the
exclusive upper/work dir checks to detect overlap with self upper/work
dir, add a trap also on the work base dir.

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.

If "metacopy=on" mount option was given, then this behavior can confuse the

This patch makes metacopy=on imply redirect_dir=on.
The converse is also true: turning off full redirect with redirect_dir=

If both metacopy=on and redirect_dir={off|follow|nofollow} is specified,
then mount will fail, since there's no way to correctly resolve the

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.

Right now ovl_inode stores inode pointer for lower inode. This helps with

Now with metadata only copy-up, we can have metacopy inode in middle layer
as well and inode containing data can be different from ->lower. I need to
be able to open the real file in ovl_open_realfile() and for that I need to

Now we will have the capability to have upper inodes which might be only
metadata copy up and data is still on lower inode. So add a new xattr
OVL_XATTR_METACOPY to distinguish between two cases.
Presence of OVL_XATTR_METACOPY reflects that file has been copied up
metadata only and and data will be copied up later from lower origin. So
this xattr is set when a metadata copy takes place and cleared when data
copy takes place.
We also use a bit in ovl_inode->flags to cache OVL_UPPERDATA which reflects
whether ovl inode has data or not (as opposed to metadata only copy up).
If a file is copied up metadata only and later when same file is opened for
WRITE, then data copy up takes place. We copy up data, remove METACOPY
xattr and then set the UPPERDATA flag in ovl_inode->flags. While all these
operations happen with oi->lock held, read side of oi->flags can be
lockless. That is another thread on another cpu can check if UPPERDATA
flag is set or not.
So this gives us an ordering requirement w.r.t UPPERDATA flag. That is, if
another cpu sees UPPERDATA flag set, then it should be guaranteed that
effects of data copy up and remove xattr operations are also visible.
For example.

ovl_open() acquire(oi->lock)

Say CPU2 is copying up data and in the end sets UPPERDATA flag. But if
CPU1 perceives the effects of setting UPPERDATA flag but not the effects of
preceding operations (ex. upper that is not fully copied up), it will be a
problem.
Hence this patch introduces smp_wmb() on setting UPPERDATA flag operation
and smp_rmb() on UPPERDATA flag test operation.
May be some other lock or barrier is already covering it. But I am not sure
what that is and is it obvious enough that we will not break it in future.
So hence trying to be safe here and introducing barriers explicitly for
UPPERDATA flag/bit.

By default metadata only copy up is disabled. Provide a mount option so
that users can choose one way or other.
Also provide a kernel config and module option to enable/disable metacopy
feature.
metacopy feature requires redirect_dir=on when upper is present.
Otherwise, it requires redirect_dir=follow atleast.
As of now, metacopy does not work with nfs_export=on. So if both
metacopy=on and nfs_export=on then nfs_export is disabled.

This partially reverts commit c568d68341.
Overlayfs files will now automatically get the correct locks, no need to
hack overlay support in VFS.
It is a partial revert, because it leaves the locks_inode() calls in place
and defines locks_inode() to file_inode(). We could revert those as well,
but it would be unnecessary code churn and it makes sense to document that
we are getting the inode for locking purposes.
Don't revert MS_NOREMOTELOCK yet since that has been part of the userspace
API for some time (though not in a useful way). Will try to remove
internal flags later when the dust around the new mount API settles.

With mount option "xino=on", mounter declares that there are enough
free high bits in underlying fs to hold the layer fsid.
If overlayfs does encounter underlying inodes using the high xino
bits reserved for layer fsid, a warning will be emitted and the original
inode number will be used.
The mount option name "xino" goes after a similar meaning mount option
of aufs, but in overlayfs case, the mapping is stateless.
An example for a use case of "xino=on" is when upper/lower is on an xfs
filesystem. xfs uses 64bit inode numbers, but it currently never uses the
upper 8bit for inode numbers exposed via stat(2) and that is not likely to
change in the future without user opting-in for a new xfs feature. The
actual number of unused upper bit is much larger and determined by the xfs
filesystem geometry (64 - agno_log - agblklog - inopblog). That means
that for all practical purpose, there are enough unused bits in xfs
inode numbers for more than OVL_MAX_STACK unique fsid's.
Another use case of "xino=on" is when upper/lower is on tmpfs. tmpfs inode
numbers are allocated sequentially since boot, so they will practially
never use the high inode number bits.
For compatibility with applications that expect 32bit inodes, the feature
can be disabled with "xino=off". The option "xino=auto" automatically
detects underlying filesystem that use 32bit inodes and enables the
feature. The Kconfig option OVERLAY_FS_XINO_AUTO and module parameter of
the same name, determine if the default mode for overlayfs mount is
"xino=auto" or "xino=off".

On 64bit systems, when overlay layers are not all on the same fs, but
all inode numbers of underlying fs are not using the high bits, use the
high bits to partition the overlay st_ino address space. The high bits
hold the fsid (upper fsid is 0). This way overlay inode numbers are unique
and all inodes use overlay st_dev. Inode numbers are also persistent
for a given layer configuration.
Currently, our only indication for available high ino bits is from a
filesystem that supports file handles and uses the default encode_fh()
operation, which encodes a 32bit inode number.

Instead of allocating an anonymous bdev per lower layer, allocate
one anonymous bdev per every unique lower fs that is different than
upper fs.
Every unique lower fs is assigned an fsid > 0 and the number of
unique lower fs are stored in ofs->numlowerfs.
The assigned fsid is stored in the lower layer struct and will be
used also for inode number multiplexing.

This change relaxes copy up on encode of merge dir with lower layer > 1
and handles the case of encoding a merge dir with lower layer 1, where an
ancestor is a non-indexed merge dir. In that case, decode of the lower
file handle will not have been possible if the non-indexed ancestor is
redirected before or after encode.
Before encoding a non-upper directory file handle from real layer N, we
need to check if it will be possible to reconnect an overlay dentry from
the real lower decoded dentry. This is done by following the overlay
ancestry up to a "layer N connected" ancestor and verifying that all
parents along the way are "layer N connectable". If an ancestor that is
NOT "layer N connectable" is found, we need to copy up an ancestor, which
is "layer N connectable", thus making that ancestor "layer N connected".
For example:
layer 1: /a
layer 2: /a/b/c
The overlay dentry /a is NOT "layer 2 connectable", because if dir /a is
copied up and renamed, upper dir /a will be indexed by lower dir /a from
layer 1. The dir /a from layer 2 will never be indexed, so the algorithm
in ovl_lookup_real_ancestor() (*) will not be able to lookup a connected
overlay dentry from the connected lower dentry /a/b/c.
To avoid this problem on decode time, we need to copy up an ancestor of
/a/b/c, which is "layer 2 connectable", on encode time. That ancestor is
/a/b. After copy up (and index) of /a/b, it will become "layer 2 connected"
and when the time comes to decode the file handle from lower dentry /a/b/c,
ovl_lookup_real_ancestor() will find the indexed ancestor /a/b and decoding
a connected overlay dentry will be accomplished.
(*) the algorithm in ovl_lookup_real_ancestor() can be improved to lookup
an entry /a in the lower layers above layer N and find the indexed dir /a
from layer 1. If that improvement is made, then the check for "layer N
connected" will need to verify there are no redirects in lower layers above
layer N. In the example above, /a will be "layer 2 connectable". However,
if layer 2 dir /a is a target of a layer 1 redirect, then /a will NOT be
"layer 2 connectable":
layer 1: /A (redirect = /a)
layer 2: /a/b/c
