The upper dentry may become stale before we call ovl_lock_rename_workdir.
For example, someone could (mistakenly or maliciously) manually unlink(2)
it directly from upperdir.
To ensure it is not stale, let's lookup it after ovl_lock_rename_workdir
and and check if it matches the upper dentry.
Essentially, it is the same problem and similar solution as in
commit 11f3710417 ("ovl: verify upper dentry before unlink and rename").

Right now when a new overlay inode is created, we initialize overlay
inode's ->i_mode from underlying inode ->i_mode but we retain only
file type bits (S_IFMT) and discard permission bits.
This patch changes it and retains permission bits too. This should allow
overlay to do permission checks on overlay inode itself in task context.

Before 4bacc9c923 ("overlayfs: Make f_path...") file->f_path pointed to
the underlying file, hence suid/sgid removal on write worked fine.
After that patch file->f_path pointed to the overlay file, and the file
mode bits weren't copied to overlay_inode->i_mode. So the suid/sgid
removal simply stopped working.
The fix is to copy the mode bits, but then ovl_setattr() needs to clear
ATTR_MODE to avoid the BUG() in notify_change(). So do this first, then in
the next patch copy the mode.

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.

Fix a regression when creating a file over a whiteout. The new
file/directory needs to use the current fsuid/fsgid, not the ones from the
mounter's credentials.
The refcounting is a bit tricky: prepare_creds() sets an original refcount,
override_creds() gets one more, which revert_cred() drops. So
1) we need to expicitly put the mounter's credentials when overriding
with the updated one
2) we need to put the original ref to the updated creds (and this can
safely be done before revert_creds(), since we'll still have the ref
from override_creds()).

a) ovl_need_xattr_filter() is wrong, we can have multiple lower layers
overlaid, all of which (except the lowest one) honouring the
"trusted.overlay.opaque" xattr. So need to filter everything except the
bottom and the pure-upper layer.
b) we no longer can assume that inode is attached to dentry in
get/setxattr.
This patch unconditionally filters private xattrs to fix both of the above.
Performance impact for get/removexattrs is likely in the noise.
For listxattrs it might be measurable in pathological cases, but I very
much hope nobody cares. If they do, we'll fix it then.

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().

Backmerge to resolve a conflict in ovl_lookup_real();
"ovl_lookup_real(): use lookup_one_len_unlocked()" instead,
but it was too late in the cycle to rebase.
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 4bacc9c923 ("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

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.

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]

Unlink and rename in overlayfs checked the upper dentry for staleness by

Expand the verification to actually look up the name again (under parent

does before passing the dentry to filesytem's unlink/rename methods, which

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.

Cache of directory content passed as "list" contains entries from all

(moved into work at this stage) will return negative entry. Plus this
cache is filled long before and we can race with external removal.

[Al Viro] The bug is in being too enthusiastic about optimizing ->setattr()
away - instead of "copy verbatim with metadata" + "chmod/chown/utimes"
(with the former being always safe and the latter failing in case of
insufficient permissions) it tries to combine these two. Note that copyup
itself will have to do ->setattr() anyway; _that_ is where the elevated
capabilities are right. Having these two ->setattr() (one to set verbatim

Without this option and prior to this patch permissions were calculated by

With this option the permissions are calculated by overlayfs based on the

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
