Pull overlayfs fixes from Amir Goldstein:
- Fix for file reference leak regression
- Fix for NULL pointer deref regression
- Fixes for RCU-walk race regressions:
Two of the fixes were taken from Al's RCU pathwalk race fixes series with his consent [1].
Note that unlike most of Al's series, these two patches are not about racing with ->kill_sb() and they are also very recent regressions from v6.5, so I think it's worth getting them into v6.5.y.
There is also a fix for an RCU pathwalk race with ->kill_sb(), which may have been solved in vfs generic code as you suggested, but it also rids overlayfs from a nasty hack, so I think it's worth anyway.

ovl: make use of ->layers safe in rcu pathwalk
ovl_permission() accesses ->layers[...].mnt; we can't have ->layers freed without an RCU delay on fs shutdown.
Fortunately, kern_unmount_array() that is used to drop those mounts does include an RCU delay, so freeing is delayed; unfortunately, the array passed to kern_unmount_array() is formed by mangling ->layers contents and that happens without any delays.
The ->layers[...].name string entries are used to store the strings to display in "lowerdir=..." by ovl_show_options(). Those entries are not accessed in RCU walk.
Move the name strings into a separate array ofs->config.lowerdirs and reuse the ofs->config.lowerdirs array as the temporary mount array to pass to kern_unmount_array().

ovl: add support for unique fsid per instance
The legacy behavior of ovl_statfs() reports the f_fsid filled by underlying upper fs. This fsid is not unique among overlayfs instances on the same upper fs.
With mount option uuid=on, generate a non-persistent uuid per overlayfs instance and use it as the seed for f_fsid, similar to tmpfs.
This is useful for reporting fanotify events with fid info from different instances of overlayfs over the same upper fs.
The old behavior of null uuid and upper fs fsid is retained with the mount option uuid=null, which is the default.
The mount option uuid=off that disables uuid checks in underlying layers also retains the legacy behavior.

ovl: support encoding non-decodable file handles
When all layers support file handles, we support encoding non-decodable file handles (a.k.a. fid) even with nfs_export=off.
When file handles do not need to be decoded, we do not need to copy up redirected lower directories on encode, and we encode also non-indexed upper with lower file handle, so fid will not change on copy up.
This enables reporting fanotify events with file handles on overlayfs with default config/mount options.

ovl: Add framework for verity support
This adds the scaffolding (docs, config, mount options) for supporting the new digest field in the metacopy xattr. This contains a fs-verity digest that need to match the fs-verity digest of the lowerdata file. The mount option "verity" specifies how this xattr is handled.
If you enable verity ("verity=on") all existing xattrs are validated before use, and during metacopy we generate verity xattr in the upper metacopy file (if the source file has verity enabled). This means later accesses can guarantee that the same data is used.
Additionally you can use "verity=require". In this mode all metacopy files must have a valid verity xattr. For this to work metadata copy-up must be able to create a verity xattr (so that later accesses are validated). Therefore, in this mode, if the lower data file doesn't have fs-verity enabled we fall back to a full copy rather than a metacopy.
Actual implementation follows in a separate commit.

ovl: modify layer parameter parsing
We ran into issues where mount(8) passed multiple lower layers as one big string through fsconfig(). But the fsconfig() FSCONFIG_SET_STRING option is limited to 256 bytes in strndup_user(). While this would be fixable by extending the fsconfig() buffer I'd rather encourage users to append layers via multiple fsconfig() calls as the interface allows nicely for this. This has also been requested as a feature before.
With this port to the new mount api the following will be possible:
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", "/lower1", 0);
/* set upper layer */ fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "upperdir", "/upper", 0);
/* append "/lower2", "/lower3", and "/lower4" */ fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", ":/lower2:/lower3:/lower4", 0);
/* turn index feature on */ fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "index", "on", 0);
/* append "/lower5" */ fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", ":/lower5", 0);
Specifying ':' would have been rejected so this isn't a regression. And we can't simply use "lowerdir=/lower" to append on top of existing layers as "lowerdir=/lower,lowerdir=/other-lower" would make "/other-lower" the only lower layer so we'd break uapi if we changed this. So the ':' prefix seems a good compromise.
Users can choose to specify multiple layers at once or individual layers. A layer is appended if it starts with ":". This requires that the user has already added at least one layer before. If lowerdir is specified again without a leading ":" then all previous layers are dropped and replaced with the new layers. If lowerdir is specified and empty than all layers are simply dropped.
An additional change is that overlayfs will now parse and resolve layers right when they are specified in fsconfig() instead of deferring until super block creation. This allows users to receive early errors.
It also allows users to actually use up to 500 layers something which was theoretically possible but ended up not working due to the mount option string passed via mount(2) being too large.
This also allows a more privileged process to set config options for a lesser privileged process as the creds for fsconfig() and the creds for fsopen() can differ. We could restrict that they match by enforcing that the creds of fsopen() and fsconfig() match but I don't see why that needs to be the case and allows for a good delegation mechanism.
Plus, in the future it means we're able to extend overlayfs mount options and allow users to specify layers via file descriptors instead of paths:
fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_PATH{_EMPTY}, "lowerdir", "lower1", dirfd);
/* append */ fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_PATH{_EMPTY}, "lowerdir", "lower2", dirfd);
/* append */ fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_PATH{_EMPTY}, "lowerdir", "lower3", dirfd);
/* clear all layers specified until now */ fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", NULL, 0);
This would be especially nice if users create an overlayfs mount on top of idmapped layers or just in general private mounts created via open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE). Those mounts would then never have to appear anywhere in the filesystem. But for now just do the minimal thing.
We should probably aim to move more validation into ovl_fs_parse_param() so users get errors before fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE). But that can be done in additional patches later.
This is now also rebased on top of the lazy lowerdata lookup which allows the specificatin of data only layers using the new "::" syntax.
The rules are simple. A data only layers cannot be followed by any regular layers and data layers must be preceeded by at least one regular layer.
Parsing the lowerdir mount option must change because of this. The original patchset used the old lowerdir parsing function to split a lowerdir mount option string such as:
lowerdir=/lower1:/lower2::/lower3::/lower4
simply replacing each non-escaped ":" by "\0". So sequences of non-escaped ":" were counted as layers. For example, the previous lowerdir mount option above would've counted 6 layers instead of 4 and a lowerdir mount option such as:
lowerdir="/lower1:/lower2::/lower3::/lower4:::::::::::::::::::::::::::"
would be counted as 33 layers. Other than being ugly this didn't matter much because kern_path() would reject the first "\0" layer. However, this overcounting of layers becomes problematic when we base allocations on it where we very much only want to allocate space for 4 layers instead of 33.
So the new parsing function rejects non-escaped sequences of colons other than ":" and "::" immediately instead of relying on kern_path().

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.

ovl: check type and offset of struct vfsmount in ovl_entry
Porting overlayfs to the new amount api I started experiencing random crashes that couldn't be explained easily. So after much debugging and reasoning it became clear that struct ovl_entry requires the point to struct vfsmount to be the first member and of type struct vfsmount.
During the port I added a new member at the beginning of struct ovl_entry which broke all over the place in the form of random crashes and cache corruptions. While there's a comment in ovl_free_fs() to the effect of "Hack! Reuse ofs->layers as a vfsmount array before freeing it" there's no such comment on struct ovl_entry which makes this easy to trip over.
Add a comment and two static asserts for both the offset and the type of pointer in struct ovl_entry.

ovl: implement lazy lookup of lowerdata in data-only layers
Defer lookup of lowerdata in the data-only layers to first data access or before copy up.
We perform lowerdata lookup before copy up even if copy up is metadata only copy up. We can further optimize this lookup later if needed.
We do best effort lazy lookup of lowerdata for d_real_inode(), because this interface does not expect errors. The only current in-tree caller of d_real_inode() is trace_uprobe and this caller is likely going to be followed reading from the file, before placing uprobes on offset within the file, so lowerdata should be available when setting the uprobe.

Data-only lower layers are only allowed at the bottom of the stack.
The files in those layers are only meant to be accessible via absolute redirect from metacopy files in lower layers. Following changes will implement lookup in the data layers.
This feature was requested for composefs ostree use case, where the lower data layer should only be accessiable via absolute redirects from metacopy inodes.
The lower data layers are not required to a have a unique uuid or any uuid at all, because they are never used to compose the overlayfs inode st_ino/st_dev.
