From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

This series fixes bugs in nfs and ext4 due to 4bacc9c9234c ("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 simply compares file_inode(file->f_path.dentry) to
file_inode(file) and if they are equal returns file->f_path.dentry (this is
the common, non-overlayfs case).

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

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

Can you put that series in your vfs.git tree?
Easier for getting and testing.

Thanks.

Ok, pushed to:

Is that correct the ext4-related patches 3/4 and 4/4 are Linux-v4.5 material?
Not applicable fpr v4.4.y-stable?

Sorry, for disturbing again - parallelly building some other software
which needs my attention.

Why didn't you split 1/4 into a vfs (generic) part and overlayfs (related) part?
Thinking of bisecting or backporting ovl fixes.

Just my €0,02.

4.5 has already been released, but I think these patches are suitable
for the v4.[345].y-stable branch (which I think is the question you
are really asking).

Al, are you willing to push all of these to Linus before the merge
window closes, with a cc to stable@vger.kernel.org?  Or I can push
them to linus via the ext4.git tree if I get signoffs/acked-by's from
the VFS and NFS maintainers.

I'll want to do a full a regression test cycle since we're pushing
patches created after the merge window opened, but I consider these
bug fixes and will certainly support pushing them to Linus as far as
ext4 is concerned.

Cheers,

					- Ted

I have this patch in the ext4.git tree, but I'd like to get an
Acked-by from Al before I send a pull request to Linus.

Al?  Any objections to my sending in this change via the ext4 tree?

FWIW, I would rather add DCACHE_OP_REAL (set at d_set_d_op()
time) and turned that into

static inline struct dentry *d_real(const struct dentry *dentry)
{
	if (unlikely(dentry->d_flags & DCACHE_OP_NATIVE_DENTRY))
		returd dentry->d_op->d_real(dentry);
	else
		return dentry;
}
static inline struct dentry *file_dentry(const struct file *file)
{
	return d_real(file->f_path.dentry);
}

and used ovl_dentry_real as ->d_real for overlayfs.  Miklos, do you
see any problems with that variant?

What's wrong with making ovl_dentry_real() an instance of optional
->d_real() method and having a flag (DCACHE_OP_REAL) controlling its
calls?  With d_real(dentry) returning either that or dentry itself,
and file_dentry(file) being simply d_real(file->f_path.dentry)...

Why do we need to look at the inode at all?  d_set_d_op() dereferences
->d_op anyway, as well as setting ->d_flags, so there's no extra cost
there, and "test bit in ->d_flags + branch not taken" is all it would
cost in normal case...

Checking DCACHE_OP_REAL insted of inode would be fine.

But d_real() needs inode as well.  Consider the case where

 1) file opened on lower layer
 2) copied up
 3) file_dentry() called

d_real(file->f_path.dentry) would return the upper dentry but that's
not what we want.

Thanks,
Miklos

>> This series fixes bugs in nfs and ext4 due to 4bacc9c9234c ("overlayfs: Make

>> In the uncommon case (regular file on overlayfs) it will call into

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

Hopefully this is not so late as to be useless!
For this entire series:
