In user namespace the whiteout creation fails with -EPERM because the
current process isn't capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) when setting xattr.

A simple reproducer:

$ mkdir upper lower work merged lower/dir
$ sudo mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merged
$ unshare -m -p -f -U -r bash

Now as root in the user namespace:

\# touch merged/dir/{1,2,3} # this will force a copy up of lower/dir
\# rm -fR merged/*

This ends up failing with -EPERM after the files in dir has been
correctly deleted:

unlinkat(4, "2", 0)                     = 0
unlinkat(4, "1", 0)                     = 0
unlinkat(4, "3", 0)                     = 0
close(4)                                = 0
unlinkat(AT_FDCWD, "merged/dir", AT_REMOVEDIR) = -1 EPERM (Operation not
permitted)

Interestingly, if you don't place files in merged/dir you can remove it,
meaning if upper/dir does not exist, creating the char device file works
properly in that same location.

This patch uses ovl_sb_creator_cred() to get the cred struct from the
superblock mounter and override the old cred with these new ones so that
the whiteout creation is possible because overlay is wrong in assuming that
the creds it will get with prepare_creds will be in the initial user
namespace.  The old cap_raise game is removed in favor of just overriding
the old cred struct.

This patch also drops from ovl_copy_up_one() the following two lines:

override_cred->fsuid = stat->uid;
override_cred->fsgid = stat->gid;

This is because the correct uid and gid are taken directly with the stat
struct and correctly set with ovl_set_attr().

Print a warning when overlayfs copies up a file if the process that
triggered the copy up has a R/O fd open to the lower file being copied up.

This can help catch applications that do things like the following:

	fd1 = open("foo", O_RDONLY);
	fd2 = open("foo", O_RDWR);

where they expect fd1 and fd2 to refer to the same file - which will no
longer be the case post-copy up.

With this patch, the following commands:

	bash 5</mnt/a/foo128
	6<>/mnt/a/foo128

assuming /mnt/a/foo128 to be an un-copied up file on an overlay will
produce the following warning in the kernel log:

	overlayfs: Copying up foo129, but open R/O on fd 5 which will cease
	to be coherent [pid=3818 bash]

This is enabled by setting:

	/sys/module/overlay/parameters/check_copy_up

to 1.

The warnings are ratelimited and are also limited to one warning per file -
assuming the copy up completes in each case.

Rather than always allocating the high-order XATTR_SIZE_MAX buffer
which is costly and prone to failure, only allocate what is needed and
realloc if necessary.

In ovl_copy_up_locked(), newdentry is leaked if the function exits through
out_cleanup as this just to out after calling ovl_cleanup() - which doesn't
actually release the ref on newdentry.

The out_cleanup segment should instead exit through out2 as certainly
newdentry leaks - and possibly upper does also, though this isn't caught
given the catch of newdentry.

Without this fix, something like the following is seen:

	BUG: Dentry ffff880023e9eb20{i=f861,n=#ffff880023e82d90} still in use (1) [unmount of tmpfs tmpfs]
	BUG: Dentry ffff880023ece640{i=0,n=bigfile}  still in use (1) [unmount of tmpfs tmpfs]

when unmounting the upper layer after an error occurred in copyup.

An error can be induced by creating a big file in a lower layer with
something like:

	dd if=/dev/zero of=/lower/a/bigfile bs=65536 count=1 seek=$((0xf000))

to create a large file (4.1G).  Overlay an upper layer that is too small
(on tmpfs might do) and then induce a copy up by opening it writably.

Open the lower file with O_LARGEFILE in ovl_copy_up().

Pass O_LARGEFILE unconditionally in ovl_copy_up_data() as it's purely for
catching 32-bit userspace dealing with a file large enough that it'll be
mishandled if the application isn't aware that there might be an integer
overflow.  Inside the kernel, there shouldn't be any problems.

OpenWRT folks reported that overlayfs fails to mount if upper fs is full,
because workdir can't be created.  Wordir creation can fail for various
other reasons too.

There's no reason that the mount itself should fail, overlayfs can work
fine without a workdir, as long as the overlay isn't modified.

So mount it read-only and don't allow remounting read-write.

Add a couple of WARN_ON()s for the impossible case of workdir being used
despite being read-only.

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

Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com>
 - switch to __inode_permission()

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.
