ovl: Move xattr support to new xattrs.c file

2023-10-30T22:12:59+00:00

This moves the code from super.c and inode.c, and makes ovl_xattr_get/set() static. This is in preparation for doing more work on xattrs support. Signed-off-by: Alexander Larsson Reviewed-by: Amir Goldstein Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein

ovl: reorder ovl_want_write() after ovl_inode_lock()

2023-10-30T22:12:57+00:00

Make the locking order of ovl_inode_lock() strictly between the two vfs stacked layers, i.e.: - ovl vfs locks: sb_writers, inode_lock, ... - ovl_inode_lock - upper vfs locks: sb_writers, inode_lock, ... To that effect, move ovl_want_write() into the helpers ovl_nlink_start() and ovl_copy_up_start which currently take the ovl_inode_lock() after ovl_want_write(). Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein

ovl: make consistent use of OVL_FS()

2023-08-12T16:02:54+00:00

Always use OVL_FS() to retrieve the corresponding struct ovl_fs from a struct super_block. Reviewed-by: Amir Goldstein Signed-off-by: Andrea Righi Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein

ovl: support encoding non-decodable file handles

2023-08-12T16:02:47+00:00

When all layers support file handles, we support encoding non-decodable file handles (a.k.a. fid) even with nfs_export=off. When file handles do not need to be decoded, we do not need to copy up redirected lower directories on encode, and we encode also non-indexed upper with lower file handle, so fid will not change on copy up. This enables reporting fanotify events with file handles on overlayfs with default config/mount options. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein

fs: drop the timespec64 argument from update_time

2023-08-11T07:04:57+00:00

Now that all of the update_time operations are prepared for it, we can drop the timespec64 argument from the update_time operation. Do that and remove it from some associated functions like inode_update_time and inode_needs_update_time.

ovl: pass ovl_fs to xino helpers

2023-06-19T11:02:00+00:00

Internal ovl methods should use ovl_fs and not sb as much as possible. Use a constant_table to translate from enum xino mode to string in preperation for new mount api option parsing. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein

ovl: prepare for lazy lookup of lowerdata inode

2023-06-19T11:01:14+00:00

Make the code handle the case of numlower > 1 and missing lowerdata dentry gracefully. Missing lowerdata dentry is an indication for lazy lookup of lowerdata and in that case the lowerdata_redirect path is stored in ovl_inode. Following commits will defer lookup and perform the lazy lookup on access. Reviewed-by: Alexander Larsson Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

ovl: prepare to store lowerdata redirect for lazy lowerdata lookup

2023-06-19T11:01:14+00:00

Prepare to allow ovl_lookup() to leave the last entry in a non-dir lowerstack empty to signify lazy lowerdata lookup. In this case, ovl_lookup() stores the redirect path from metacopy to lowerdata in ovl_inode, which is going to be used later to perform the lazy lowerdata lookup.
