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.

An overlay filesystem combines two filesystems - an 'upper' filesystem
|
|
and a 'lower' filesystem. When a name exists in both filesystems, the
|
|
object in the 'upper' filesystem is visible while the object in the
|
|
'lower' filesystem is either hidden or, in the case of directories,
|
|
merged with the 'upper' object.

If this config option is enabled then overlay filesystems will use

redirects when renaming directories by default. In this case it is

still possible to turn off redirects globally with the

"redirect_dir=off" module option or on a filesystem instance basis
|

with the "redirect_dir=off" mount option.
|
|
|
|
Note, that redirects are not backward compatible. That is, mounting

|
an overlay which has redirects on a kernel that doesn't support this

feature will have unexpected results.
