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.

Defer lookup of lowerdata in the data-only layers to first data access

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.
