d->last signifies that this is the last layer we are looking into and there
is no more. And that means this allows for some optimzation opportunities
during lookup. For example, in ovl_lookup_single() we don't have to check
for opaque xattr of a directory is this is the last layer we are looking
into (d->last = true).
But knowing for sure whether we are looking into last layer can be very
tricky. If redirects are not enabled, then we can look at poe->numlower and
figure out if the lookup we are about to is last layer or not. But if
redircts are enabled then it is possible poe->numlower suggests that we are
looking in last layer, but there is an absolute redirect present in found
element and that redirects us to a layer in root and that means lookup will
continue in lower layers further.
For example, consider following.
/upperdir/pure (opaque=y)
/upperdir/pure/foo (opaque=y,redirect=/bar)
/lowerdir/bar
In this case pure is "pure upper". When we look for "foo", that time
poe->numlower=0. But that alone does not mean that we will not search for a
merge candidate in /lowerdir. Absolute redirect changes that.
IOW, d->last should not be set just based on poe->numlower if redirects are
enabled. That can lead to setting d->last while it should not have and that
means we will not check for opaque xattr while we should have.
So do this.
- If redirects are not enabled, then continue to rely on poe->numlower
information to determine if it is last layer or not.
- If redirects are enabled, then set d->last = true only if this is the
last layer in root ovl_entry (roe).

redirect_dir=nofollow should not follow a redirect. But in a specific

$ mkdir -p lower0 lower1/foo upper work merged
$ touch lower1/foo/lower-file.txt
$ setfattr -n "trusted.overlay.opaque" -v "y" lower1/foo
$ mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower1:lower0,workdir=work,upperdir=upper,redirect_dir=on none merged
$ cd merged
$ mv foo foo-renamed
$ umount merged
# mount again. This time with redirect_dir=nofollow
$ mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower1:lower0,workdir=work,upperdir=upper,redirect_dir=nofollow none merged
$ ls merged/foo-renamed/
# This lists lower-file.txt, while it should not have.
Basically, we are doing redirect check after we check for d.stop. And
if this is not last lower, and we find an opaque lower, d.stop will be
set.
ovl_lookup_single()
if (!d->last && ovl_is_opaquedir(this)) {
d->stop = d->opaque = true;

A re-factoring patch in NFS export series has passed the wrong argument
to ovl_get_inode() causing a regression in the very recent fix to
fsnotify of overlay merge dir.
The regression has caused merge directory inodes to be hashed by upper
instead of lower real inode, when NFS export and directory indexing is
disabled. That caused an inotify watch to become obsolete after directory
copy up and drop caches.
LTP test inotify07 was improved to catch this regression.
The regression also caused multiple redirect dirs to same origin not to
be detected on lookup with NFS export disabled. An xfstest was added to
cover this case.

A directory index is a directory type entry in index dir with a
"trusted.overlay.upper" xattr containing an encoded ovl_fh of the merge
directory upper dir inode.
On lookup of non-dir files, lower file is followed by origin file handle.
On lookup of dir entries, lower dir is found by name and then compared
to origin file handle. We only trust dir index if we verified that lower
dir matches origin file handle, otherwise index may be inconsistent and
we ignore it.
If we find an indexed non-upper dir or an indexed merged dir, whose
index 'upper' xattr points to a different upper dir, that means that the
lower directory may be also referenced by another upper dir via redirect,
so we fail the lookup on inconsistency error.
To be consistent with directory index entries format, the association of
index dir to upper root dir, that was stored by older kernels in
"trusted.overlay.origin" xattr is now stored in "trusted.overlay.upper"
xattr. This also serves as an indication that overlay was mounted with a
kernel that support index directory entries. For backward compatibility,
if an 'origin' xattr exists on the index dir we also verify it on mount.
Directory index entries are going to be used for NFS export.

When the NFS export feature is enabled, overlayfs implicitly enables the
feature "verify_lower". When the "verify_lower" feature is enabled, a
directory inode found in lower layer by name or by redirect_dir is
verified against the file handle of the copy up origin that is stored in
the upper layer.
This introduces a change of behavior for the case of lower layer
modification while overlay is offline. A lower directory created or
moved offline under an exisitng upper directory, will not be merged with
that upper directory.
The NFS export feature should not be used after copying layers, because

The functions ovl_lower_positive() and ovl_check_empty_dir() both take
inode mutex on the real lower dir under ovl_want_write() which takes
the upper_mnt sb_writers lock.
While this is not a clear locking order or layering violation, it creates
an undesired lock dependency between two unrelated layers for no good
reason.
This lock dependency materializes to a false(?) positive lockdep warning
when calling rmdir() on a nested overlayfs, where both nested and
underlying overlayfs both use the same fs type as upper layer.
rmdir() on the nested overlayfs creates the lock chain:
sb_writers of upper_mnt (e.g. tmpfs) in ovl_do_remove()
ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[] of lower overlay dir in ovl_lower_positive()
rmdir() on the underlying overlayfs creates the lock chain in
reverse order:
ovl_i_mutex_dir_key[] of lower overlay dir in vfs_rmdir()
sb_writers of nested upper_mnt (e.g. tmpfs) in ovl_do_remove()
To rid of the unneeded locking dependency, move both ovl_lower_positive()
and ovl_check_empty_dir() to before ovl_want_write() in rmdir() and
rename() implementation.

Overlayfs is following redirects even when redirects are disabled. If this
is unintentional (probably the majority of cases) then this can be a
problem. E.g. upper layer comes from untrusted USB drive, and attacker
crafts a redirect to enable read access to otherwise unreadable
directories.
If "redirect_dir=off", then turn off following as well as creation of
redirects. If "redirect_dir=follow", then turn on following, but turn off
creation of redirects (which is what "redirect_dir=off" does now).
This is a backward incompatible change, so make it dependent on a config

With index=on, ovl_indexdir_cleanup() tries to cleanup invalid index

Instead, abort mount if such entries are encountered. We still cleanup
'stale' entries and 'orphan' entries, both those cases can be a result
of offline changes to lower and upper dirs.
When encoutering an index entry of type directory or whiteout, kernel
was supposed to fallback to read-only mount, but the fill_super()
operation returns EROFS in this case instead of returning success with
read-only mount flag, so mount fails when encoutering directory or
whiteout index entries. Bless this behavior by returning -EINVAL on

Commit fbaf94ee3c ("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.

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8f ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

When inodes index feature is enabled, lookup in indexdir for the index

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

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

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.
