ovl: ignore failure to copy up unknown xattrs

This issue came up with NFSv4 as the lower layer, which generates
"system.nfs4_acl" xattrs (even for plain old unix permissions). Prior to
this patch this prevented copy-up from succeeding.

The overlayfs permission model mandates that permissions are checked
locally for the task and remotely for the mounter(*). NFS4 ACLs are not
supported by the Linux kernel currently, hence they cannot be enforced
locally. Which means it is indifferent whether this attribute is copied or
not.

Generalize this to any xattr that is not used in access checking (i.e. it's
not a POSIX ACL and not in the "security." namespace).

Incidentally, best effort copying of xattrs seems to also be the behavior
of "cp -a", which is what overlayfs tries to mimic.

ovl: improving copy-up efficiency for big sparse file

Current copy-up is not efficient for big sparse file,
It's not only slow but also wasting more disk space
when the target lower file has huge hole inside.
This patch tries to recognize file hole and skip it
during copy-up.

Detail logic of hole detection as below:
When we detect next data position is larger than current
position we will skip that hole, otherwise we copy
data in the size of OVL_COPY_UP_CHUNK_SIZE. Actually,
it may not recognize all kind of holes and sometimes
only skips partial of hole area. However, it will be
enough for most of the use cases.

Additionally, this optimization relies on lseek(2)
SEEK_DATA implementation, so for some specific
filesystems which do not support this feature
will behave as before on copy-up.

ovl: make sure that real fid is 32bit aligned in memory

Seprate on-disk encoding from in-memory and on-wire resresentation
of overlay file handle.

In-memory and on-wire we only ever pass around pointers to struct
ovl_fh, which encapsulates at offset 3 the on-disk format struct
ovl_fb. struct ovl_fb encapsulates at offset 21 the real file handle.
That makes sure that the real file handle is always 32bit aligned
in-memory when passed down to the underlying filesystem.

On-disk format remains the same and store/load are done into
correctly aligned buffer.

New nfs exported file handles are exported with aligned real fid.
Old nfs file handles are copied to an aligned buffer before being
decoded.

ovl: fix missing upper fs freeze protection on copy up for ioctl

Generalize the helper ovl_open_maybe_copy_up() and use it to copy up file
with data before FS_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl.

The FS_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl is a bit of an odd ball in vfs, which probably
caused the confusion. File may be open O_RDONLY, but ioctl modifies the
file. VFS does not call mnt_want_write_file() nor lock inode mutex, but
fs-specific code for FS_IOC_SETFLAGS does. So ovl_ioctl() calls
mnt_want_write_file() for the overlay file, and fs-specific code calls
mnt_want_write_file() for upper fs file, but there was no call for
ovl_want_write() for copy up duration which prevents overlayfs from copying
up on a frozen upper fs.

ovl: Do not lose security.capability xattr over metadata file copy-up

If a file has been copied up metadata only, and later data is copied up,
upper loses any security.capability xattr it has (underlying filesystem

From a user's point of view, this is just a file copy-up and that should
not result in losing security.capability xattr. Hence, before data copy
up, save security.capability xattr (if any) and restore it on upper after
data copy up is complete.

ovl: During copy up, first copy up data and then xattrs

If a file with capability set (and hence security.capability xattr) is
written kernel clears security.capability xattr. For overlay, during file
copy up if xattrs are copied up first and then data is, copied up. This
means data copy up will result in clearing of security.capability xattr
file on lower has. And this can result into surprises. If a lower file has
CAP_SETUID, then it should not be cleared over copy up (if nothing was
actually written to file).

This also creates problems with chown logic where it first copies up file
and then tries to clear setuid bit. But by that time security.capability
xattr is already gone (due to data copy up), and caller gets -ENODATA.
This has been reported by Giuseppe here.

https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/2015#issuecomment-447824842

Fix this by copying up data first and then metadta. This is a regression
which has been introduced by my commit as part of metadata only copy up
patches.

TODO: There will be some corner cases where a file is copied up metadata
only and later data copy up happens and that will clear security.capability
xattr. Something needs to be done about that too.

vfs: make remap_file_range functions take and return bytes completed

Change the remap_file_range functions to take a number of bytes to
operate upon and return the number of bytes they operated on. This is a
requirement for allowing fs implementations to return short clone/dedupe
results to the user, which will enable us to obey resource limits in a
graceful manner.

A subsequent patch will enable copy_file_range to signal to the
->clone_file_range implementation that it can handle a short length,
which will be returned in the function's return value. For now the
short return is not implemented anywhere so the behavior won't change --
either copy_file_range manages to clone the entire range or it tries an
alternative.

Neither clone ioctl can take advantage of this, alas.

ovl: untangle copy up call chain

In an attempt to dedup ~100 LOC, we ended up creating a tangled call chain,
whose branches merge and diverge in several points according to the
immutable c->tmpfile copy up mode.

This call chain was hard to analyse for locking correctness because the
locking requirements for the c->tmpfile flow were very different from the
locking requirements for the !c->tmpfile flow (i.e. directory vs. regulare
file copy up).

Split the copy up helpers of the c->tmpfile flow from those of the
!c->tmpfile (i.e. workdir) flow and remove the c->tmpfile mode from copy up
context.

vfs: swap names of {do,vfs}_clone_file_range()

Commit 031a072a0b8a ("vfs: call vfs_clone_file_range() under freeze
protection") created a wrapper do_clone_file_range() around
vfs_clone_file_range() moving the freeze protection to former, so
overlayfs could call the latter.

The more common vfs practice is to call do_xxx helpers from vfs_xxx
helpers, where freeze protecction is taken in the vfs_xxx helper, so
this anomality could be a source of confusion.

It seems that commit 8ede205541ff ("ovl: add reflink/copyfile/dedup
support") may have fallen a victim to this confusion -
ovl_clone_file_range() calls the vfs_clone_file_range() helper in the
hope of getting freeze protection on upper fs, but in fact results in
overlayfs allowing to bypass upper fs freeze protection.

Swap the names of the two helpers to conform to common vfs practice
and call the correct helpers from overlayfs and nfsd.

ovl: A new xattr OVL_XATTR_METACOPY for file on upper

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.

CPU1 CPU2
ovl_open() acquire(oi->lock)
ovl_open_maybe_copy_up() ovl_copy_up_data()
open_open_need_copy_up() vfs_removexattr()
ovl_already_copied_up()
ovl_dentry_needs_data_copy_up() ovl_set_flag(OVL_UPPERDATA)
ovl_test_flag(OVL_UPPERDATA) release(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.

ovl: Add helper ovl_already_copied_up()

There are couple of places where we need to know if file is already copied
up (in lockless manner). Right now its open coded and there are only two
conditions to check. Soon this patch series will introduce another
condition to check and Amir wants to introduce one more. So introduce a
helper instead to check this so that code is easier to read.

ovl: Copy up only metadata during copy up where it makes sense

If it makes sense to copy up only metadata during copy up, do it. This is
done for regular files which are not opened for WRITE.

Right now ->metacopy is set to 0 always. Last patch in the series will
remove the hard coded statement and enable metacopy feature.

ovl: During copy up, first copy up metadata and then data

Just a little re-ordering of code. This helps with next patch where after
copying up metadata, we skip data copying step, if needed.
