ovl: fix some xino configurations

2020-03-13T14:53:06Z

Fix up two bugs in the coversion to xino_mode: 1. xino=off does not always end up in disabled mode 2. xino=auto on 32bit arch should end up in disabled mode Take a proactive approach to disabling xino on 32bit kernel: 1. Disable XINO_AUTO config during build time 2. Disable xino with a warning on mount time As a by product, xino=on on 32bit arch also ends up in disabled mode. We never intended to enable xino on 32bit arch and this will make the rest of the logic simpler.

ovl: Provide a mount option metacopy=on/off for metadata copyup

2018-07-20T07:56:06Z

By default metadata only copy up is disabled. Provide a mount option so that users can choose one way or other. Also provide a kernel config and module option to enable/disable metacopy feature. metacopy feature requires redirect_dir=on when upper is present. Otherwise, it requires redirect_dir=follow atleast. As of now, metacopy does not work with nfs_export=on. So if both metacopy=on and nfs_export=on then nfs_export is disabled.

ovl: add support for "xino" mount and config options

2018-04-12T10:04:50Z

With mount option "xino=on", mounter declares that there are enough free high bits in underlying fs to hold the layer fsid. If overlayfs does encounter underlying inodes using the high xino bits reserved for layer fsid, a warning will be emitted and the original inode number will be used. The mount option name "xino" goes after a similar meaning mount option of aufs, but in overlayfs case, the mapping is stateless. An example for a use case of "xino=on" is when upper/lower is on an xfs filesystem. xfs uses 64bit inode numbers, but it currently never uses the upper 8bit for inode numbers exposed via stat(2) and that is not likely to change in the future without user opting-in for a new xfs feature. The actual number of unused upper bit is much larger and determined by the xfs filesystem geometry (64 - agno_log - agblklog - inopblog). That means that for all practical purpose, there are enough unused bits in xfs inode numbers for more than OVL_MAX_STACK unique fsid's. Another use case of "xino=on" is when upper/lower is on tmpfs. tmpfs inode numbers are allocated sequentially since boot, so they will practially never use the high inode number bits. For compatibility with applications that expect 32bit inodes, the feature can be disabled with "xino=off". The option "xino=auto" automatically detects underlying filesystem that use 32bit inodes and enables the feature. The Kconfig option OVERLAY_FS_XINO_AUTO and module parameter of the same name, determine if the default mode for overlayfs mount is "xino=auto" or "xino=off".

ovl: update Kconfig texts

2018-03-07T10:47:15Z

Add some hints about overlayfs kernel config options. Enabling NFS export by default is especially recommended against, as it incurs a performance penalty even if the filesystem is not actually exported. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

ovl: add support for "nfs_export" configuration

2018-01-24T10:25:37Z

Introduce the "nfs_export" config, module and mount options. The NFS export feature depends on the "index" feature and enables two implicit overlayfs features: "index_all" and "verify_lower". The "index_all" feature creates an index on copy up of every file and directory. The "verify_lower" feature uses the full index to detect overlay filesystems inconsistencies on lookup, like redirect from multiple upper dirs to the same lower dir. NFS export can be enabled for non-upper mount with no index. However, because lower layer redirects cannot be verified with the index, enabling NFS export support on an overlay with no upper layer requires turning off redirect follow (e.g. "redirect_dir=nofollow"). The full index may incur some overhead on mount time, especially when verifying that lower directory file handles are not stale. NFS export support, full index and consistency verification will be implemented by following patches. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

ovl: don't follow redirects if redirect_dir=off

2017-12-11T10:28:10Z

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 option. Reported-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi
