ovl: rearrange ovl_follow_link to it doesn't need to call ->put_link

ovl_follow_link current calls ->put_link on an error path.
However ->put_link is about to change in a way that it will be
impossible to call it from ovl_follow_link.

So rearrange the code to avoid the need for that error path.
Specifically: move the kmalloc() call before the ->follow_link()
call to the subordinate filesystem.

ovl: fix race in private xattr checks

Xattr operations can race with copy up. This does not matter as long as
we consistently fiter out "trunsted.overlay.opaque" attribute on upper
directories.

Previously we checked parent against OVL_PATH_MERGE. This is too general,
and prone to race with copy-up. I.e. we found the parent to be on the
lower layer but ovl_dentry_real() would return the copied-up dentry,
possibly with the "opaque" attribute.

So instead use ovl_path_real() and decide to filter the attributes based on
the actual type of the dentry we'll use.

overlay filesystem

Overlayfs allows one, usually read-write, directory tree to be
overlaid onto another, read-only directory tree. All modifications
go to the upper, writable layer.

This type of mechanism is most often used for live CDs but there's a
wide variety of other uses.

The implementation differs from other "union filesystem"
implementations in that after a file is opened all operations go
directly to the underlying, lower or upper, filesystems. This
simplifies the implementation and allows native performance in these
cases.

The dentry tree is duplicated from the underlying filesystems, this
enables fast cached lookups without adding special support into the
VFS. This uses slightly more memory than union mounts, but dentries
are relatively small.

Currently inodes are duplicated as well, but it is a possible
optimization to share inodes for non-directories.

Opening non directories results in the open forwarded to the
underlying filesystem. This makes the behavior very similar to union
mounts (with the same limitations vs. fchmod/fchown on O_RDONLY file
descriptors).

Usage:

mount -t overlayfs overlayfs -olowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper/upper,workdir=/upper/work /overlay

The following cotributions have been folded into this patch:

Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>:
- minimal remount support
- use correct seek function for directories
- initialise is_real before use
- rename ovl_fill_cache to ovl_dir_read

- fix possible leak in ovl_new_inode
- create new inode in ovl_link

Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com>
- switch to __inode_permission()
- copy up i_uid/i_gid from the underlying inode

AV:
- ovl_copy_up_locked() - dput(ERR_PTR(...)) on two failure exits
- ovl_clear_empty() - one failure exit forgetting to do unlock_rename(),
lack of check for udir being the parent of upper, dropping and regaining
the lock on udir (which would require _another_ check for parent being
right).
- bogus d_drop() in copyup and rename [fix from your mail]
- copyup/remove and copyup/rename races [fix from your mail]
- ovl_dir_fsync() leaving ERR_PTR() in ->realfile
- ovl_entry_free() is pointless - it's just a kfree_rcu()
- fold ovl_do_lookup() into ovl_lookup()
- manually assigning ->d_op is wrong. Just use ->s_d_op.

ovl: perform vfs_getxattr() with mounter creds

[ Upstream commit 554677b97257b0b69378bd74e521edb7e94769ff ]

The vfs_getxattr() in ovl_xattr_set() is used to check whether an xattr
exist on a lower layer file that is to be removed. If the xattr does not
exist, then no need to copy up the file.

This call of vfs_getxattr() wasn't wrapped in credential override, and this
is probably okay. But for consitency wrap this instance as well.

One solution is to improve error handling and call iget_failed() if error
is encountered. Amir thinks that this path is little intricate and there
is not real need to check and initialize OVL_UPPERDATA in ovl_get_inode().
Instead caller of ovl_get_inode() can initialize this state. And this will
avoid double checking of metacopy xattr lookup in ovl_lookup() and
ovl_get_inode().

OVL_UPPERDATA is inode flag. So I was little concerned that initializing
it outside ovl_get_inode() might have some races. But this is one way
transition. That is once a file has been fully copied up, it can't go back
to metacopy file again. And that seems to help avoid races. So as of now
I can't see any races w.r.t OVL_UPPERDATA being set wrongly. So move
settingof OVL_UPPERDATA inside the callers of ovl_get_inode().
ovl_obtain_alias() already does it. So only two callers now left are
ovl_lookup() and ovl_instantiate().

ovl: clear ATTR_OPEN from attr->ia_valid

As of now during open(), we don't pass bunch of flags to underlying
filesystem. O_TRUNC is one of these. Normally this is not a problem as VFS
calls ->setattr() with zero size and underlying filesystem sets file size
to 0.

But when overlayfs is running on top of virtiofs, it has an optimization
where it does not send setattr request to server if dectects that
truncation is part of open(O_TRUNC). It assumes that server already zeroed
file size as part of open(O_TRUNC).

fuse_do_setattr() {
if (attr->ia_valid & ATTR_OPEN) {
/*
* No need to send request to userspace, since actual
* truncation has already been done by OPEN. But still
* need to truncate page cache.
*/
}
}

IOW, fuse expects O_TRUNC to be passed to it as part of open flags.

But currently overlayfs does not pass O_TRUNC to underlying filesystem
hence fuse/virtiofs breaks. Setup overlayfs on top of virtiofs and
following does not zero the file size of a file is either upper only or has
already been copied up.

fd = open(foo.txt, O_TRUNC | O_WRONLY);

There are two ways to fix this. Either pass O_TRUNC to underlying
filesystem or clear ATTR_OPEN from attr->ia_valid so that fuse ends up
sending a SETATTR request to server. Miklos is concerned that O_TRUNC might
have side affects so it is better to clear ATTR_OPEN for now. Hence this
patch clears ATTR_OPEN from attr->ia_valid.

I found this problem while running unionmount-testsuite. With this patch,
unionmount-testsuite passes with overlayfs on top of virtiofs.

ovl_setattr() can be passed an attr which has ATTR_FILE set and

We should either replace with attr->ia_file with underlying file object or
clear ATTR_FILE so that underlying filesystem does not end up using
overlayfs file object pointer.

There are no good use cases yet so for now clear ATTR_FILE. fuse seems to
be one user which can use this. But it can work even without this. So it
is not mandatory to pass ATTR_FILE to fuse.

ovl: enable xino automatically in more cases

So far, with xino=auto, we only enable xino if we know that all
underlying filesystem use 32bit inode numbers.

When users configure overlay with xino=auto, they already declare that
they are ready to handle 64bit inode number from overlay.

It is a very common case, that underlying filesystem uses 64bit ino,
but rarely or never uses the high inode number bits (e.g. tmpfs, xfs).
Leaving it for the users to declare high ino bits are unused with
xino=on is not a recipe for many users to enjoy the benefits of xino.

There appears to be very little reason not to enable xino when users
declare xino=auto even if we do not know how many bits underlying
filesystem uses for inode numbers.

In the worst case of xino bits overflow by real inode number, we
already fall back to the non-xino behavior - real inode number with
unique pseudo dev or to non persistent inode number and overlay st_dev
(for directories).

The only annoyance from auto enabling xino is that xino bits overflow
emits a warning to kmsg. Suppress those warnings unless users explicitly
asked for xino=on, suggesting that they expected high ino bits to be
unused by underlying filesystem.

ovl: avoid possible inode number collisions with xino=on

When xino feature is enabled and a real directory inode number overflows
the lower xino bits, we cannot map this directory inode number to a unique
and persistent inode number and we fall back to the real inode st_ino and
overlay st_dev.

The real inode st_ino with high bits may collide with a lower inode number
on overlay st_dev that was mapped using xino.

To avoid possible collision with legitimate xino values, map a non
persistent inode number to a dedicated range in the xino address space.
The dedicated range is created by adding one more bit to the number of
reserved high xino bits. We could have added just one more fsid, but that
would have had the undesired effect of changing persistent overlay inode
numbers on kernel or require more complex xino mapping code.

ovl: use a private non-persistent ino pool

There is no reason to deplete the system's global get_next_ino() pool for
overlay non-persistent inode numbers and there is no reason at all to
allocate non-persistent inode numbers for non-directories.

For non-directories, it is much better to leave i_ino the same as real
i_ino, to be consistent with st_ino/d_ino.
