overlay needs underlying fs to support d_type. Recently I put in a
patch in to detect this condition and started failing mount if
underlying fs did not support d_type.

But this breaks existing configurations over kernel upgrade. Those who
are running docker (partially broken configuration) with xfs not
supporting d_type, are surprised that after kernel upgrade docker does
not run anymore.

https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/22937#issuecomment-229881315

So instead of erroring out, detect broken configuration and warn
about it. This should allow existing docker setups to continue
working after kernel upgrade.

d_type check requires successful creation of workdir as iterates
through work dir and expects work dir to be present in it. If that's
not the case, this check will always return d_type not supported even
if underlying filesystem might be supporting it.

So don't do this check if work dir creation failed in previous step.

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().

Generally permission checking is not necessary when overlayfs looks up a
dentry on one of the underlying layers, since search permission on base
directory was already checked in ovl_permission().

More specifically using lookup_one_len() causes a problem when the lower
directory lacks search permission for a specific user while the upper
directory does have search permission.  Since lookups are cached, this
causes inconsistency in behavior: success depends on who did the first
lookup.

So instead use lookup_hash() which doesn't do the permission check.

This series fixes bugs in nfs and ext4 due to 4bacc9c9 ("overlayfs:
Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay").

Regular files opened on overlayfs will result in the file being opened on
the underlying filesystem, while f_path points to the overlayfs
mount/dentry.

This confuses filesystems which get the dentry from struct file and assume
it's theirs.

Add a new helper, file_dentry() [*], to get the filesystem's own dentry
from the file.  This checks file->f_path.dentry->d_flags against
DCACHE_OP_REAL, and returns file->f_path.dentry if DCACHE_OP_REAL is not
set (this is the common, non-overlayfs case).

In the uncommon case it will call into overlayfs's ->d_real() to get the
underlying dentry, matching file_inode(file).

The reason we need to check against the inode is that if the file is copied
up while being open, d_real() would return the upper dentry, while the open
file comes from the lower dentry.

[*] If possible, it's better simply to use file_inode() instead.

In some instances xfs has been created with ftype=0 and there if a file
on lower fs is removed, overlay leaves a whiteout in upper fs but that
whiteout does not get filtered out and is visible to overlayfs users.

And reason it does not get filtered out because upper filesystem does
not report file type of whiteout as DT_CHR during iterate_dir().

So it seems to be a requirement that upper filesystem support d_type for
overlayfs to work properly. Do this check during mount and fail if d_type
is not supported.

After rename file dentry still holds reference to lower dentry from
previous location. This doesn't matter for data access because data comes
from upper dentry. But this stale lower dentry taints dentry at new
location and turns it into non-pure upper. Such file leaves visible
whiteout entry after remove in directory which shouldn't have whiteouts at
all.

Overlayfs already tracks pureness of file location in oe->opaque.  This
patch just uses that for detecting actual path type.

Comment from Vivek Goyal's patch:

Here are the details of the problem. Do following.

$ mkdir upper lower work merged upper/dir/
$ touch lower/test
$ sudo mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=
work merged
$ mv merged/test merged/dir/
$ rm merged/dir/test
$ ls -l merged/dir/
/usr/bin/ls: cannot access merged/dir/test: No such file or directory
total 0
c????????? ? ? ? ?            ? test

Basic problem seems to be that once a file has been unlinked, a whiteout
has been left behind which was not needed and hence it becomes visible.

Whiteout is visible because parent dir is of not type MERGE, hence
od->is_real is set during ovl_dir_open(). And that means ovl_iterate()
passes on iterate handling directly to underlying fs. Underlying fs does
not know/filter whiteouts so it becomes visible to user.

Why did we leave a whiteout to begin with when we should not have.
ovl_do_remove() checks for OVL_TYPE_PURE_UPPER() and does not leave
whiteout if file is pure upper. In this case file is not found to be pure
upper hence whiteout is left.

So why file was not PURE_UPPER in this case? I think because dentry is
still carrying some leftover state which was valid before rename. For
example, od->numlower was set to 1 as it was a lower file. After rename,
this state is not valid anymore as there is no such file in lower.

Add mount option "default_permissions" to alter the way permissions are
calculated.

Without this option and prior to this patch permissions were calculated by
underlying lower or upper filesystem.

With this option the permissions are calculated by overlayfs based on the
file owner, group and mode bits.

This has significance for example when a read-only exported NFS filesystem
is used as a lower layer.  In this case the underlying NFS filesystem will
reply with EROFS, in which case all we know is that the filesystem is
read-only.  But that's not what we are interested in, we are interested in
whether the access would be allowed if the filesystem wasn't read-only; the
server doesn't tell us that, and would need updating at various levels,
which doesn't seem practicable.

Many file systems that implement the show_options hook fail to correctly
escape their output which could lead to unescaped characters (e.g.  new
lines) leaking into /proc/mounts and /proc/[pid]/mountinfo files.  This
could lead to confusion, spoofed entries (resulting in things like
systemd issuing false d-bus "mount" notifications), and who knows what
else.  This looks like it would only be the root user stepping on
themselves, but it's possible weird things could happen in containers or
in other situations with delegated mount privileges.

Here's an example using overlay with setuid fusermount trusting the
contents of /proc/mounts (via the /etc/mtab symlink).  Imagine the use
of "sudo" is something more sneaky:

  $ BASE="ovl"
  $ MNT="$BASE/mnt"
  $ LOW="$BASE/lower"
  $ UP="$BASE/upper"
  $ WORK="$BASE/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000"
  $ mkdir -p "$LOW" "$UP" "$WORK"
  $ sudo mount -t overlay -o "lowerdir=$LOW,upperdir=$UP,workdir=$WORK" none /mnt
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  none /root/ovl/mnt overlay rw,relatime,lowerdir=ovl/lower,upperdir=ovl/upper,workdir=ovl/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000 0 0
  $ fusermount -u /proc
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory

This fixes the problem by adding new seq_show_option and
seq_show_option_n helpers, and updating the vulnerable show_option
handlers to use them as needed.  Some, like SELinux, need to be open
coded due to unusual existing escape mechanisms.

Allow filesystems with .d_revalidate as lower layer(s), but not as upper
layer.

For local filesystems the rule was that modifications on the layers
directly while being part of the overlay results in undefined behavior.

This can easily be extended to distributed filesystems: we assume the tree
used as lower layer is static, which means ->d_revalidate() should always
return "1".  If that is not the case, return -ESTALE, don't try to work

NFS and other distributed filesystems may place automount points in the
tree.  Previoulsy overlayfs refused to mount such filesystems types (based
on the existence of the .d_automount callback), even if the actual export
didn't have any automount points.

It cannot be determined in advance whether the filesystem has automount
points or not.  The solution is to allow fs with .d_automount but refuse to

Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command.  It was
pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107

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.

Current multi-layer support overlayfs has a regression in
.lookup(). If there is a directory in upperdir and a regular
file has same name in lowerdir in a merged directory, lower
file is hidden and upper directory is set to opaque in former
case. But it is changed in present code.

In lowerdir lookup path, if a found inode is not directory,
the type checking of previous inode is missing. This inode
will be copied to the lowerstack of ovl_entry directly.

That will lead to several wrong conditions, for example,
the reading of the directory in upperdir may return an error
like:

   ls: reading directory .: Not a directory

a colon (e.g. "lowerdir=/bin:/usr/bin").  Colon characters in filenames can
be escaped with a backslash.

Make "upperdir=" mount option optional.  If "upperdir=" is not given, then
the "workdir=" option is also optional (and ignored if given).

Handle "no upper layer" case in statfs.

"Suppose you have in one of the lower layers a filesystem with
->lookup()-enforced upper limit on name length.  Pretty much every local fs
has one, but... they are not all equal.  255 characters is the common upper
limit, but e.g. jffs2 stops at 254, minixfs upper limit is somewhere from
14 to 60, depending upon version, etc.  You are doing a lookup for
something that is present in upper layer, but happens to be too long for
one of the lower layers.  Too bad - ENAMETOOLONG for you..."

Not checking whiteouts on lowest layer was an optimization (there's nothing
to white out there), but it could result in inconsitent behavior when a
layer previously used as upper/middle is later used as lowest.
