A re-factoring patch in NFS export series has passed the wrong argument to ovl_get_inode() causing a regression in the very recent fix to fsnotify of overlay merge dir. The regression has caused merge directory inodes to be hashed by upper instead of lower real inode, when NFS export and directory indexing is disabled. That caused an inotify watch to become obsolete after directory copy up and drop caches. LTP test inotify07 was improved to catch this regression. The regression also caused multiple redirect dirs to same origin not to be detected on lookup with NFS export disabled. An xfstest was added to cover this case.

ovl_lookup_real() in lower layer walks back lower parents to find the topmost indexed parent. If an indexed ancestor is found before reaching lower layer root, ovl_lookup_real() is called recursively with upper layer to walk back from indexed upper to the topmost connected/hashed upper parent (or up to root). ovl_lookup_real() in upper layer then walks forward to connect the topmost upper overlay dir dentry and ovl_lookup_real() in lower layer continues to walk forward to connect the decoded lower overlay dir dentry.

Decoding a dir file handle requires walking backward up to layer root and for lower dir also checking the index to see if any of the parents have been copied up. Lookup overlay ancestor dentry in inode/dentry cache by decoded real parents to shortcut looking up all the way back to layer root. Signed-off-by:

Non-indexed upper dirs are encoded as upper file handles. When NFS export is enabled, hash non-indexed directory inodes by upper inode, so we can find them in inode cache using the decoded upper inode. When NFS export is disabled, directories are not indexed on copy up, so hash non-indexed directory inodes by origin inode, the same hash key that is used before copy up. Signed-off-by:

Similar to decoding a pure upper dir file handle, decoding a pure lower dir file handle is implemented by looking an overlay dentry of the same path as the pure lower path and verifying that the overlay dentry's real lower matches the decoded real lower file handle. Unlike the case of upper dir file handle, the lookup of overlay path by lower real path can fail or find a mismatched overlay dentry if any of the lower parents have been copied up and renamed. To address this case we will need to check if any of the lower parents are indexed. Signed-off-by:

Decoding an indexed dir file handle is done by looking up the file handle in index dir by name and then decoding the upper dir from the index origin file handle. The decoded upper path is used to lookup an overlay dentry of the same path. Signed-off-by:

Decoding a merge dir, whose origin's parent is under a redirected lower dir is not always possible. As a simple aproximation, we do not encode lower dir file handles when overlay has multiple lower layers and origin is below the topmost lower layer. We should later relax this condition and copy up only the parent that is under a redirected lower. Signed-off-by:

We only need to encode origin if there is a chance that the same object was encoded pre copy up and then we need to stay consistent with the same encoding also after copy up. In case a non-pure upper is not indexed, then it was copied up before NFS export support was enabled. In that case, we don't need to worry about staying consistent with pre copy up encoding and we encode an upper file handle. This mitigates the problem that with no index, we cannot find an upper inode from origin inode, so we cannot decode a non-indexed upper from origin file handle. Signed-off-by:

Until this change, we decoded upper file handles by instantiating an overlay dentry from the real upper dentry. This is sufficient to handle pure upper files, but insufficient to handle merge/impure dirs. To that end, if decoded real upper dir is connected and hashed, we lookup an overlay dentry with the same path as the real upper dir. If decoded real upper is non-dir, we instantiate a disconnected overlay dentry as before this change. Because ovl_fh_to_dentry() returns a connected overlay dir dentry, exportfs never needs to call get_parent() and get_name() to reconnect an upper overlay dir. Because connectable non-dir file handles are not supported, exportfs will not be able to use fh_to_parent() and get_name() methods to reconnect a disconnected non-dir to its parent. Therefore, the methods get_parent() and get_name() are implemented just to print out a sanity warning and the method fh_to_parent() is implemented to warn the user that using the 'subtree_check' exportfs option is not supported. An alternative approach could have been to implement instantiating of an overlay directory inode from origin/index and implement get_parent() and get_name() by calling into underlying fs operations and them instantiating the overlay parent dir. The reasons for not choosing the get_parent() approach were: - Obtaining a disconnected overlay dir dentry would requires a delicate re-factoring of ovl_lookup() to get a dentry with overlay parent info. It was preferred to avoid doing that re-factoring unless it was proven worthy. - Going down the path of disconnected dir would mean that the (non trivial) code path of d_splice_alias() could be traveled and that meant writing more tests and introduces race cases that are very hard to hit on purpose. Taking the path of connecting overlay dentry by forward lookup is therefore the safe and boring way to avoid surprises. The culprits of the chosen "connected overlay dentry" approach: - We need to take special care to rename of ancestors while connecting the overlay dentry by real dentry path. These subtleties are usually handled by generic exportfs and VFS code. - In a hypothetical workload, we could end up in a loop trying to connect, interrupted by rename and restarting connect forever.

Orphan index entries are non-dir index entries whose union nlink count dropped to zero. With index=on, orphan index entries are removed on mount. With NFS export feature enabled, orphan index entries are replaced with white out index entries to block future open by handle from opening the lower file. When dir index has a stale 'upper' xattr, we assume that the upper dir was removed and we treat the dir index as orphan entry that needs to be whited out or removed. Signed-off-by:

With the NFS export feature enabled, all dirs are indexed on copy up. Non-dir files are copied up directly to indexdir and then hardlinked to upper dir. Directories are copied up to indexdir, then an index entry is created in indexdir with 'upper' xattr pointing to the copied up dir and then the copied up dir is moved to upper dir. Directory index is also used for consistency verification, like detecting multiple redirected dirs to the same lower dir on lookup. Signed-off-by:

A previous failed attempt to create or whiteout a directory index may leave index entries named '#%x' in the index dir. Cleanup those temp entries on mount instead of failing the mount. In the future, we may drop 'work' dir and use 'index' dir instead. This change is enough for cleaning up copy up leftovers 'from the future', but it is not enough for cleaning up rmdir leftovers 'from the future' (i.e. temp dir containing whiteouts). Signed-off-by:

Whiteout index entries are used as an indication that an exported overlay file handle should be treated as stale (i.e. after unlink of the overlay inode). Check on mount that whiteout index entries have a name that looks like a valid file handle and cleanup invalid index entries. For whiteout index entries, do not check that they also have valid origin fh and nlink xattr, because those xattr do not exist for a whiteout index entry. Signed-off-by:

A directory index is a directory type entry in index dir with a "trusted.overlay.upper" xattr containing an encoded ovl_fh of the merge directory upper dir inode. On lookup of non-dir files, lower file is followed by origin file handle. On lookup of dir entries, lower dir is found by name and then compared to origin file handle. We only trust dir index if we verified that lower dir matches origin file handle, otherwise index may be inconsistent and we ignore it. If we find an indexed non-upper dir or an indexed merged dir, whose index 'upper' xattr points to a different upper dir, that means that the lower directory may be also referenced by another upper dir via redirect, so we fail the lookup on inconsistency error. To be consistent with directory index entries format, the association of index dir to upper root dir, that was stored by older kernels in "trusted.overlay.origin" xattr is now stored in "trusted.overlay.upper" xattr. This also serves as an indication that overlay was mounted with a kernel that support index directory entries. For backward compatibility, if an 'origin' xattr exists on the index dir we also verify it on mount. Directory index entries are going to be used for NFS export. Signed-off-by:

On a malformed overlay, several redirected dirs can point to the same dir on a lower layer. This presents a similar challenge as broken hardlinks, because different objects in the overlay can return the same st_ino/st_dev pair from stat(2). For broken hardlinks, we do not provide constant st_ino on copy up to avoid this inconsistency. When NFS export feature is enabled, apply the same logic to files and directories with unverified lower origin. Signed-off-by:

When the NFS export feature is enabled, overlayfs implicitly enables the feature "verify_lower". When the "verify_lower" feature is enabled, a directory inode found in lower layer by name or by redirect_dir is verified against the file handle of the copy up origin that is stored in the upper layer. This introduces a change of behavior for the case of lower layer modification while overlay is offline. A lower directory created or moved offline under an exisitng upper directory, will not be merged with that upper directory. The NFS export feature should not be used after copying layers, because the new lower directory inodes would fail verification and won't be merged with upper directories. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

Remove the "origin" language from the functions that handle set, get and verify of "origin" xattr and pass the xattr name as an argument. The same helpers are going to be used for NFS export to get, get and verify the "upper" xattr for directory index entries. ovl_verify_origin() is now a helper used only to verify non upper file handle stored in "origin" xattr of upper inode. The upper root dir file handle is still stored in "origin" xattr on the index dir for backward compatibility. This is going to be changed by the patch that adds directory index entries support.
