Pull overlayfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains overlayfs updates for this cycle.
The changes for overlayfs in here are primarily focussed on preparing
for some proposed changes to directory locking.
Overlayfs currently will sometimes lock a directory on the upper
filesystem and do a few different things while holding the lock. This
is incompatible with the new potential scheme.
This series narrows the region of code protected by the directory
lock, taking it multiple times when necessary. This theoretically
opens up the possibilty of other changes happening on the upper
filesytem between the unlock and the lock. To some extent the patches
guard against that by checking the dentries still have the expect
parent after retaking the lock. In general, concurrent changes to the
upper and lower filesystems aren't supported properly anyway"

Case folding is often applied to subtrees and not on an entire
filesystem.
Disallowing layers from filesystems that support case folding is over
limiting.
Replace the rule that case-folding capable are not allowed as layers
with a rule that case folded directories are not allowed in a merged
directory stack.
Should case folding be enabled on an underlying directory while
overlayfs is mounted the outcome is generally undefined.
Specifically in ovl_lookup(), we check the base underlying directory
and fail with -ESTALE and write a warning to kmsg if an underlying
directory case folding is enabled.

The lookup helpers API was changed by merge of vfs-6.16-rc1.async.dir to
pass a non-const qstr pointer argument to lookup_one*() helpers.
All of the callers of this API were changed to pass a pointer to temp
copy of qstr, except overlays that was passing a const pointer to
dentry->d_name that was changed to pass a non-const copy instead
when doing a lookup in lower layer which is not the fs of said dentry.
This wrong use of the API caused a regression in fstest overlay/012.
Fix the regression by making a non-const copy of dentry->d_name prior
to calling the lookup API, but the API should be fixed to not allow this

Allow the special case of a redirect from a lower layer to a data layer
without having to turn on metacopy. This makes the feature work with
userxattr, which in turn allows data layers to be usable in user
namespaces.
Minimize the risk by only enabling redirect from a single lower layer to a
data layer iff a data layer is specified. The only way to access a data
layer is to enable this, so there's really no reason not to enable this.
This can be used safely if the lower layer is read-only and the
user.overlay.redirect xattr cannot be modified.

When overlayfs finds a file with metacopy and/or redirect attributes and
the metacopy and/or redirect features are not enabled, then it refuses to
act on those attributes while also issuing a warning.
There was an inconsistency in not checking metacopy found from the index.
And also only warning on an upper metacopy if it found the next file on the
lower layer, while always warning for metacopy found on a lower layer.
Fix these inconsistencies and make the logic more straightforward, paving
the way for following patches to change when data redirects are allowed.

The lookup_one_len family of functions is (now) only used internally by
a filesystem on itself either
- in a context where permission checking is irrelevant such as by a
virtual filesystem populating itself, or xfs accessing its ORPHANAGE
or dquota accessing the quota file; or
- in a context where a permission check (MAY_EXEC on the parent) has just
been performed such as a network filesystem finding in "silly-rename"
file in the same directory. This is also the context after the
_parentat() functions where currently lookup_one_qstr_excl() is used.
So the permission check is pointless.
The name "one_len" is unhelpful in understanding the purpose of these
functions and should be changed. Most of the callers pass the len as
"strlen()" so using a qstr and QSTR() can simplify the code.
This patch renames these functions (include lookup_positive_unlocked()
which is part of the family despite the name) to have a name based on
"lookup_noperm". They are changed to receive a 'struct qstr' instead
of separate name and len. In a few cases the use of QSTR() results in a
new call to strlen().
try_lookup_noperm() takes a pointer to a qstr instead of the whole
qstr. This is consistent with d_hash_and_lookup() (which is nearly
identical) and useful for lookup_noperm_unlocked().
The new lookup_noperm_common() doesn't take a qstr yet. That will be
tidied up in a subsequent patch.

The family of functions:
lookup_one()
lookup_one_unlocked()
lookup_one_positive_unlocked()
appear designed to be used by external clients of the filesystem rather
than by filesystems acting on themselves as the lookup_one_len family
are used.
They are used by:
btrfs/ioctl - which is a user-space interface rather than an internal
activity
exportfs - i.e. from nfsd or the open_by_handle_at interface
overlayfs - at access the underlying filesystems
smb/server - for file service
They should be used by nfsd (more than just the exportfs path) and
cachefs but aren't.
It would help if the documentation didn't claim they should "not be
called by generic code".
Also the path component name is passed as "name" and "len" which are
(confusingly?) separate by the "base". In some cases the len in simply
"strlen" and so passing a qstr using QSTR() would make the calling
clearer.
Other callers do pass separate name and len which are stored in a
struct. Sometimes these are already stored in a qstr, other times it
easily could be.
So this patch changes these three functions to receive a 'struct qstr *',
and improves the documentation.
QSTR_LEN() is added to make it easy to pass a QSTR containing a known
len.

An opaque directory cannot have xwhiteouts, so instead of marking an
xwhiteouts directory with a new xattr, overload overlay.opaque xattr
for marking both opaque dir ('y') and xwhiteouts dir ('x').
This is more efficient as the overlay.opaque xattr is checked during
lookup of directory anyway.
This also prevents unnecessary checking the xattr when reading a
directory without xwhiteouts, i.e. most of the time.
Note that the xwhiteouts marker is not checked on the upper layer and
on the last layer in lowerstack, where xwhiteouts are not expected.

An xattr whiteout (called "xwhiteout" in the code) is a reguar file of
zero size with the "overlay.whiteout" xattr set. A file like this in a
directory with the "overlay.whiteouts" xattrs set will be treated the
same way as a regular whiteout.
The "overlay.whiteouts" directory xattr is used in order to
efficiently handle overlay checks in readdir(), as we only need to
checks xattrs in affected directories.
The advantage of this kind of whiteout is that they can be escaped
using the standard overlay xattr escaping mechanism. So, a file with a
"overlay.overlay.whiteout" xattr would be unescaped to
"overlay.whiteout", which could then be consumed by another overlayfs
as a whiteout.
Overlayfs itself doesn't create whiteouts like this, but a userspace
mechanism could use this alternative mechanism to convert images that
may contain whiteouts to be used with overlayfs.
To work as a whiteout for both regular overlayfs mounts as well as
userxattr mounts both the "user.overlay.whiteout*" and the
"trusted.overlay.whiteout*" xattrs will need to be created.

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.

mount option uuid=null, which is the default.
The mount option uuid=off that disables uuid checks in underlying layers

The new digest field in the metacopy xattr is used during lookup to
record whether the header contained a digest in the OVL_HAS_DIGEST
flags.
When accessing file data the first time, if OVL_HAS_DIGEST is set, we
reload the metadata and check that the source lowerdata inode matches
the specified digest in it (according to the enabled verity
options). If the verity check passes we store this info in the inode
flags as OVL_VERIFIED_DIGEST, so that we can avoid doing it again if
the inode remains in memory.
The verification is done in ovl_maybe_validate_verity() which needs to
be called in the same places as ovl_maybe_lookup_lowerdata(), so there
is a new ovl_verify_lowerdata() helper that calls these in the right
order, and all current callers of ovl_maybe_lookup_lowerdata() are
changed to call it instead.

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.

We perform lowerdata lookup before copy up even if copy up is metadata

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

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

For copied up directories, the upper file handles are decoded to conncted

Add a helper that allows to retrieve ovl xattrs from either lower or
upper layers. To stop passing mnt and dentry separately everywhere use
struct path which more accurately reflects the tight coupling between
mount and dentry in this helper. Swich over all places to pass a path
argument that can operate on either upper or lower layers. This is
needed to support idmapped base layers with overlayfs.
Some helpers are always called with an upper dentry, which is now utilized
by these helpers to create the path. Make this usage explicit by renaming
the argument to "upperdentry" and by renaming the function as well in some
cases. Also add a check in ovl_do_getxattr() to catch misuse of these
functions.

Use helpers ovl_*xattr() to access user/trusted.overlay.* xattrs
and use helpers ovl_do_*xattr() to access generic xattrs. This is a
preparatory patch for using idmapped base layers with overlay.
Note that a few of those places called vfs_*xattr() calls directly to
reduce the amount of debug output. But as Miklos pointed out since
overlayfs has been stable for quite some time the debug output isn't all
that relevant anymore and the additional debug in all locations was
actually quite helpful when developing this patch series.

We get occasional reports of lookup errors due to mismatched
origin ftype from users that re-format a lower squashfs image.
Commit 13c6ad0f45 ("ovl: document lower modification caveats")
tries to discourage the practice of re-formating lower layers and
describes the expected behavior as undefined.
Commit b0e0f69731 ("ovl: restrict lower null uuid for "xino=auto"")
limits the configurations in which origin file handles are followed.
In addition to these measures, change the behavior in case of detecting
a mismatch origin ftype in lookup to issue a warning, not follow origin,
but not fail the lookup operation either.
That should make overall more users happy without any big consequences.

Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi:
- Fix a regression introduced in 5.2 that resulted in valid overlayfs
mounts being rejected with ELOOP (Too many levels of symbolic links)
- Fix bugs found by various tools
- Miscellaneous improvements and cleanups
* tag 'ovl-update-5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
ovl: add debug print to ovl_do_getxattr()
ovl: invalidate readdir cache on changes to dir with origin
ovl: allow upperdir inside lowerdir
ovl: show "userxattr" in the mount data
ovl: trivial typo fixes in the file inode.c
ovl: fix misspellings using codespell tool
ovl: do not copy attr several times
ovl: remove ovl_map_dev_ino() return value
ovl: fix error for ovl_fill_super()
ovl: fix missing revert_creds() on error path
ovl: fix leaked dentry
ovl: restrict lower null uuid for "xino=auto"
ovl: check that upperdir path is not on a read-only mount
ovl: plumb through flush method
Since commit 6815f479ca ("ovl: use only uppermetacopy state in
ovl_lookup()"), overlayfs doesn't put temporary dentry when there is a
metacopy error, which leads to dentry leaks when shutting down the related
superblock:

CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH is required by open_by_handle_at(2) so check it in
ovl_decode_real_fh() as well to prevent privilege escalation for
unprivileged overlay mounts.
[Amir] If the mounter is not capable in init ns, ovl_check_origin() and
ovl_verify_index() will not function as expected and this will break index
and nfs export features. So check capability in ovl_can_decode_fh(), to
auto disable those features.

When the lower file of a metacopy is inaccessible, -EIO is returned. For
users not familiar with overlayfs internals, such as myself, the meaning of
this error may not be apparent or easy to determine, since the (metacopy)
file is present and open/stat succeed when accessed outside of the overlay.
Add a rate-limited warning for orphan metacopy to give users a hint when
investigating such errors.

This replaces uuid with null in overlayfs file handles and thus relaxes
uuid checks for overlay index feature. It is only possible in case there is
only one filesystem for all the work/upper/lower directories and bare file
handles from this backing filesystem are unique. In other case when we have
multiple filesystems lets just fallback to "uuid=on" which is and
equivalent of how it worked before with all uuid checks.
This is needed when overlayfs is/was mounted in a container with index
enabled (e.g.: to be able to resolve inotify watch file handles on it to
paths in CRIU), and this container is copied and started alongside with the
original one. This way the "copy" container can't have the same uuid on the
superblock and mounting the overlayfs from it later would fail.
That is an example of the problem on top of loop+ext4:
dd if=/dev/zero of=loopbackfile.img bs=100M count=10
losetup -fP loopbackfile.img
losetup -a
#/dev/loop0: [64768]:35 (/loop-test/loopbackfile.img)
mkfs.ext4 loopbackfile.img
mkdir loop-mp
mount -o loop /dev/loop0 loop-mp
mkdir loop-mp/{lower,upper,work,merged}
mount -t overlay overlay -oindex=on,lowerdir=loop-mp/lower,\
upperdir=loop-mp/upper,workdir=loop-mp/work loop-mp/merged
umount loop-mp/merged
umount loop-mp
e2fsck -f /dev/loop0
tune2fs -U random /dev/loop0
mount -o loop /dev/loop0 loop-mp
mount -t overlay overlay -oindex=on,lowerdir=loop-mp/lower,\
upperdir=loop-mp/upper,workdir=loop-mp/work loop-mp/merged
#mount: /loop-test/loop-mp/merged:
#mount(2) system call failed: Stale file handle.
If you just change the uuid of the backing filesystem, overlay is not
mounting any more. In Virtuozzo we copy container disks (ploops) when
create the copy of container and we require fs uuid to be unique for a new
container.
