All overlayfs c files include overlayfs.h and overlayfs.h itself
refers to some structs defined in ovl_entry.h, so it seems more
logic to include ovl_entry.h from overlayfs.h than from c files.

If a non-merge dir in an overlay mount has an overlay.origin xattr, it

Do not iterate real dir directly in this case to avoid exposing whiteouts.

ovl: fix EIO from lookup of non-indexed upper

Commit fbaf94ee3cd5 ("ovl: don't set origin on broken lower hardlink")
attempt to avoid the condition of non-indexed upper inode with lower
hardlink as origin. If this condition is found, lookup returns EIO.

The protection of commit mentioned above does not cover the case of lower
that is not a hardlink when it is copied up (with either index=off/on)
and then lower is hardlinked while overlay is offline.

Changes to lower layer while overlayfs is offline should not result in
unexpected behavior, so a permanent EIO error after creating a link in
lower layer should not be considered as correct behavior.

This fix replaces EIO error with success in cases where upper has origin
but no index is found, or index is found that does not match upper
inode. In those cases, lookup will not fail and the returned overlay inode
will be hashed by upper inode instead of by lower origin inode.

ovl: fix false positive ESTALE on lookup

Commit b9ac5c274b8c ("ovl: hash overlay non-dir inodes by copy up origin")
verifies that the origin lower inode stored in the overlayfs inode matched
the inode of a copy up origin dentry found by lookup.

There is a false positive result in that check when lower fs does not
support file handles and copy up origin cannot be followed by file handle
at lookup time.

The false negative happens when finding an overlay inode in cache on a
copied up overlay dentry lookup. The overlay inode still 'remembers' the
copy up origin inode, but the copy up origin dentry is not available for
verification.

Relax the check in case copy up origin dentry is not available.

ovl: persistent overlay inode nlink for indexed inodes

With inodes index enabled, an overlay inode nlink counts the union of upper
and non-covered lower hardlinks. During the lifetime of a non-pure upper
inode, the following nlink modifying operations can happen:

1. Lower hardlink copy up
2. Upper hardlink created, unlinked or renamed over
3. Lower hardlink whiteout or renamed over

For the first, copy up case, the union nlink does not change, whether the
operation succeeds or fails, but the upper inode nlink may change.
Therefore, before copy up, we store the union nlink value relative to the
lower inode nlink in the index inode xattr trusted.overlay.nlink.

For the second, upper hardlink case, the union nlink should be incremented
or decremented IFF the operation succeeds, aligned with nlink change of the
upper inode. Therefore, before link/unlink/rename, we store the union nlink
value relative to the upper inode nlink in the index inode.

For the last, lower cover up case, we simplify things by preceding the
whiteout or cover up with copy up. This makes sure that there is an index
upper inode where the nlink xattr can be stored before the copied up upper
entry is unlink.

Return the overlay inode nlinks for indexed upper inodes on stat(2).

ovl: implement index dir copy up

Implement a copy up method for non-dir objects using index dir to
prevent breaking lower hardlinks on copy up.

This method requires that the inodes index dir feature was enabled and
that all underlying fs support file handle encoding/decoding.

On the first lower hardlink copy up, upper file is created in index dir,
named after the hex representation of the lower origin inode file handle.
On the second lower hardlink copy up, upper file is found in index dir,
by the same lower handle key.
On either case, the upper indexed inode is then linked to the copy up
upper path.

The index entry remains linked for future lower hardlink copy up and for
lower to upper inode map, that is needed for exporting overlayfs to NFS.

ovl: lookup index entry for copy up origin

When inodes index feature is enabled, lookup in indexdir for the index
entry of lower real inode or copy up origin inode. The index entry name
is the hex representation of the lower inode file handle.

If the index dentry in negative, then either no lower aliases have been
copied up yet, or aliases have been copied up in older kernels and are
not indexed.

If the index dentry for a copy up origin inode is positive, but points
to an inode different than the upper inode, then either the upper inode
has been copied up and not indexed or it was indexed, but since then
index dir was cleared. Either way, that index cannot be used to indentify
the overlay inode.

If a positive dentry that matches the upper inode was found, then it is
safe to use the copy up origin st_ino for upper hardlinks, because all
indexed upper hardlinks are represented by the same overlay inode as the
copy up origin.

Set the INDEX type flag on an indexed upper dentry. A non-upper dentry
may also have a positive index from copy up of another lower hardlink.
This situation will be handled by following patches.

Index lookup is going to be used to prevent breaking hardlinks on copy up.

ovl: lockdep annotate of nested stacked overlayfs inode lock

An overlayfs instance can be the lower layer of another overlayfs
instance. This setup triggers a lockdep splat of possible recursive
locking of sb->s_type->i_mutex_key in iterate_dir(). Trimmed snip:

[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
bash/2468 is trying to acquire lock:
&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14, at: iterate_dir+0x7d/0x15c
but task is already holding lock:
&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#14, at: iterate_dir+0x7d/0x15c

One problem observed with this splat is that ovl_new_inode()
does not call lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key() to annotate
the dir inode lock as &sb->s_type->i_mutex_dir_key like other
fs do.

The other problem is that the 2 nested levels of overlayfs inode
lock are annotated using the same key, which is the cause of the
false positive lockdep warning.

Fix this by annotating overlayfs inode lock in ovl_fill_inode()
according to stack level of the super block instance and use
different key for dir vs. non-dir like other fs do.

Here is an edited snip from /proc/lockdep_chains after
iterate_dir() of nested overlayfs:

[...] &ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth] (stack_depth=2)
[...] &ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[depth]#2 (stack_depth=1)

statx: Add a system call to make enhanced file info available

Add a system call to make extended file information available, including
file creation and some attribute flags where available through the
underlying filesystem.

The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a
u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the
synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*()
function.

Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions
vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage.

========
OVERVIEW
========

The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved
with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall
with an extended stat structure.

A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The
following have been included:

(1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large.

(2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for
future expansion.

(3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an
__s64).

(4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could
be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of
FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime).

This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could
be exported by NFSD [Steve French].

(5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a
netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly
without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas
Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC).

(6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks
its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust]
(AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC).

And the following have been left out for future extension:

(7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh
Kumar].

Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves
i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get
it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead.

(There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since
not all filesystems do this the same way).

(8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such
as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen)
[Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert].

(9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers
[Bernd Schubert].

(This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the
open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to
whether it's a security hole or not).

(10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger].

(No particular data were offered, but things like last backup
timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come
into this category).

(11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A
filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if
that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't
exist or are fabricated locally...

(This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea
for this).

(12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in
struct xstat [Steve French].

(Deferred to fsinfo).

(13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the
granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French].

(Deferred to fsinfo).

(14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags.
Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4
define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel
may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too).

(Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general
feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't
be exposed through statx this way).

(15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer,
Michael Kerrisk].

(Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or
seclabal might require extra filesystem operations).

(16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner].

(A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for
this - if there proves to be a need).

(17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this.

===============
NEW SYSTEM CALL
===============

The new system call is:

int ret = statx(int dfd,
const char *filename,
unsigned int flags,
unsigned int mask,
struct statx *buffer);

The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a
similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be
emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is
also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL
filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd.

Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store
can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically
only affects network filesystems):

(1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this
respect.

(2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise
its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to
occur to get the timestamps correct.

(3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a
network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered
approximate.

mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of
interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to
get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for
more information may entail extra I/O operations.

buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in
size.

======================
MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD
======================

The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute
set:

struct statx_timestamp {
__s64 tv_sec;
__s32 tv_nsec;
__s32 __reserved;
};

struct statx {
__u32 stx_mask;
__u32 stx_blksize;
__u64 stx_attributes;
__u32 stx_nlink;
__u32 stx_uid;
__u32 stx_gid;
__u16 stx_mode;
__u16 __spare0[1];
__u64 stx_ino;
__u64 stx_size;
__u64 stx_blocks;
__u64 __spare1[1];
struct statx_timestamp stx_atime;
struct statx_timestamp stx_btime;
struct statx_timestamp stx_ctime;
struct statx_timestamp stx_mtime;
__u32 stx_rdev_major;
__u32 stx_rdev_minor;
__u32 stx_dev_major;
__u32 stx_dev_minor;
__u64 __spare2[14];
};

The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are:

STATX_TYPE Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT
STATX_MODE Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT
STATX_NLINK Want/got stx_nlink
STATX_UID Want/got stx_uid
STATX_GID Want/got stx_gid
STATX_ATIME Want/got stx_atime{,_ns}
STATX_MTIME Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns}
STATX_CTIME Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns}
STATX_INO Want/got stx_ino
STATX_SIZE Want/got stx_size
STATX_BLOCKS Want/got stx_blocks
STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct]
STATX_BTIME Want/got stx_btime{,_ns}
STATX_ALL [All currently available stuff]

stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the
data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be
placed.

Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields
plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note
that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond
fields will also be negative if not zero.

The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a
file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following
attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value:

STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs
STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable
STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only
STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped
STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs

Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by:

KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS

[Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed
through this interface?]

New flags include:

STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger

These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially,
depending on what they are.

Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes:

(0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize.

These are local system information and are always available.

(1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino,
stx_size, stx_blocks.

These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The
corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they
actually have valid values.

If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For
example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server,
unless as a byproduct of updating something requested.

If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as
UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask,
even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned
value will be a fabrication.

Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for
instance Windows reparse points.

(2) stx_rdev_*.

This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a
blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0.

(3) stx_btime.

Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist.

The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled.

Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to
