ovl: store enum redirect_mode in config instead of a string

Do all the logic to set the mode during mount options parsing and
do not keep the option string around.

Use a constant_table to translate from enum redirect mode to string
in preperation for new mount api option parsing.

The mount option "off" is translated to either "follow" or "nofollow",
depending on the "redirect_always_follow" build/module config, so
in effect, there are only three possible redirect modes.

This results in a minor change to the string that is displayed
in show_options() - when redirect_dir is enabled by default and the user
mounts with the option "redirect_dir=off", instead of displaying the mode
"redirect_dir=off" in show_options(), the displayed mode will be either
"redirect_dir=follow" or "redirect_dir=nofollow", depending on the value
of "redirect_always_follow" build/module config.

The displayed mode reflects the effective mode, so mounting overlayfs
again with the dispalyed redirect_dir option will result with the same
effective and displayed mode.

Move lowerstack into ovl_inode and keep only the OVL_E_FLAGS
per overlay dentry.

Following patches will deduplicate redundant ovl_inode fields.

Note that for pure upper and negative dentries, OVL_E(dentry) may be
NULL now, so it is imporatnt to use the ovl_numlower() accessor.

ovl: Use ovl mounter's fsuid and fsgid in ovl_link()

$ mkdir /lower /fuse /merge
$ mount -t fuse /fuse
$ mkdir /fuse/upper /fuse/work
$ mount -t o

ovl: Use ovl mounter's fsuid and fsgid in ovl_link()

There is a wrong case of link() on overlay:
$ mkdir /lower /fuse /merge
$ mount -t fuse /fuse
$ mkdir /fuse/upper /fuse/work
$ mount -t overlay /merge -o lowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/fuse/upper,\
workdir=work
$ touch /merge/file
$ chown bin.bin /merge/file // the file's caller becomes "bin"
$ ln /merge/file /merge/lnkfile

Then we will get an error(EACCES) because fuse daemon checks the link()'s
caller is "bin", it denied this request.

In the changing history of ovl_link(), there are two key commits:

The first is commit bb0d2b8ad296 ("ovl: fix sgid on directory") which
overrides the cred's fsuid/fsgid using the new inode. The new inode's
owner is initialized by inode_init_owner(), and inode->fsuid is
assigned to the current user. So the override fsuid becomes the
current user. We know link() is actually modifying the directory, so
the caller must have the MAY_WRITE permission on the directory. The
current caller may should have this permission. This is acceptable
to use the caller's fsuid.

The second is commit 51f7e52dc943 ("ovl: share inode for hard link")
which removed the inode creation in ovl_link(). This commit move
inode_init_owner() into ovl_create_object(), so the ovl_link() just
give the old inode to ovl_create_or_link(). Then the override fsuid
becomes the old inode's fsuid, neither the caller nor the overlay's
mounter! So this is incorrect.

Fix this bug by using ovl mounter's fsuid/fsgid to do underlying
fs's link().

ovl: implement set acl method

The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].

In order to build a type safe posix api around get and set acl we need
all filesystem to implement get and set acl.

Now that we have added get and set acl inode operations that allow easy
access to the dentry we give overlayfs it's own get and set acl inode
operations.

The set acl inode operation is duplicates most of the ovl posix acl
xattr handler. The main difference being that the set acl inode
operation relies on the new posix acl api. Once the vfs has been
switched over the custom posix acl xattr handler will be removed
completely.

Note, until the vfs has been switched to the new posix acl api this
patch is a non-functional change.

Since overlayfs is a stacking filesystem it will use the newly added

Since overlayfs can also be mounted on top of idmapped layers. If
idmapped layers are used overlayfs must take the layer's idmapping into
account after it retrieved the posix acls from the relevant layer.

fs: rename current get acl method

The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].

The current inode operation for getting posix acls takes an inode
argument but various filesystems (e.g., 9p, cifs, overlayfs) need access
to the dentry. In contrast to the ->set_acl() inode operation we cannot
simply extend ->get_acl() to take a dentry argument. The ->get_acl()
inode operation is called from:

acl_permission_check()
-> check_acl()
-> get_acl()

which is part of generic_permission() which in turn is part of
inode_permission(). Both generic_permission() and inode_permission() are
called in the ->permission() handler of various filesystems (e.g.,
overlayfs). So simply passing a dentry argument to ->get_acl() would
amount to also having to pass a dentry argument to ->permission(). We
should avoid this unnecessary change.

So instead of extending the existing inode operation rename it from
->get_acl() to ->get_inode_acl() and add a ->get_acl() method later that
passes a dentry argument and which filesystems that need access to the
dentry can implement instead of ->get_inode_acl(). Filesystems like cifs
which allow setting and getting posix acls but not using them for
permission checking during lookup can simply not implement
->get_inode_acl().

This is intended to be a non-functional change.

ovl: use ovl_copy_{real,upper}attr() wrappers

When copying inode attributes from the upper or lower layer to ovl inodes
we need to take the upper or lower layer's mount's idmapping into
account. In a lot of places we call ovl_copyattr() only on upper inodes and
in some we call it on either upper or lower inodes. Split this into two
separate helpers.

The first one should only be called on upper
inodes and is thus called ovl_copy_upperattr(). The second one can be
called on upper or lower inodes. We add ovl_copy_realattr() for this
task. The new helper makes use of the previously added ovl_i_path_real()
helper. This is needed to support idmapped base layers with overlay.

When overlay copies the inode information from an upper or lower layer
to the relevant overlay inode it will apply the idmapping of the upper
or lower layer when doing so. The ovl inode ownership will thus always
correctly reflect the ownership of the idmapped upper or lower layer.

All idmapping helpers are nops when no idmapped base layers are used.

needed to support idmapped base layers with overlayfs.

Some helpers are always called with an upper dentry, which is now utilized
by these helpers to create the path. Make this usage explicit by renaming
the argument to "upperdentry" and by renaming the function as well in some
cases. Also add a check in ovl_do_getxattr() to catch misuse of these
functions.

ovl: use ovl_do_notify_change() wrapper

Introduce ovl_do_notify_change() as a simple wrapper around
notify_change() to support idmapped layers. The helper mirrors other
ovl_do_*() helpers that operate on the upper layers.

When changing ownership of an upper object the intended ownership needs
to be mapped according to the upper layer's idmapping. This mapping is
the inverse to the mapping applied when copying inode information from
an upper layer to the corresponding overlay inode. So e.g., when an
upper mount maps files that are stored on-disk as owned by id 1001 to
1000 this means that calling stat on this object from an idmapped mount
will report the file as being owned by id 1000. Consequently in order to
change ownership of an object in this filesystem so it appears as being
owned by id 1000 in the upper idmapped layer it needs to store id 1001
on disk. The mnt mapping helpers take care of this.

All idmapping helpers are nops when no idmapped base layers are used.

ovl: use wrappers to all vfs_*xattr() calls

Use helpers ovl_*xattr() to access user/trusted.overlay.* xattrs
and use helpers ovl_do_*xattr() to access generic xattrs. This is a
preparatory patch for using idmapped base layers with overlay.

Note that a few of those places called vfs_*xattr() calls directly to
reduce the amount of debug output. But as Miklos pointed out since
overlayfs has been stable for quite some time the debug output isn't all
that relevant anymore and the additional debug in all locations was
actually quite helpful when developing this patch series.

Syzbot triggered the following warning in ovl_workdir_create() ->
ovl_create_real():

if (!err && WARN_ON(!newdentry->d_inode)) {

The reason is that the cgroup2 filesystem returns from mkdir without
instantiating the new dentry.

Weird filesystems such as this will be rejected by overlayfs at a later
stage during setup, but to prevent such a warning, call ovl_mkdir_real()
directly from ovl_workdir_create() and reject this case early.

ovl: fix missing negative dentry check in ovl_rename()

The following reproducer

mkdir lower upper work merge
touch lower/old
touch lower/new
mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merge
rm merge/new
mv merge/old merge/new & unlink upper/new

may result in this race:

PROCESS A:
rename("merge/old", "merge/new");
overwrite=true,ovl_lower_positive(old)=true,
ovl_dentry_is_whiteout(new)=true -> flags |= RENAME_EXCHANGE

PROCESS B:
unlink("upper/new");

PROCESS A:
lookup newdentry in new_upperdir
call vfs_rename() with negative newdentry and RENAME_EXCHANGE

Fix by adding the missing check for negative newdentry.
