At present, overlayfs provides overlayfs inode to users. Overlayfs
inode provides ovl_aops with noop_direct_IO to avoid open failure
with O_DIRECT. But some compressed filesystems, such as erofs and
squashfs, don't support direct_IO.

Users who use f_mapping->a_ops->direct_IO to check O_DIRECT support,
will read file through this way. This will cause overlayfs to access
a non-existent direct_IO function and cause panic due to null pointer:

Kernel panic - not syncing: CFI failure (target: 0x0)

The filesystem may only support direct_IO for some file types. For
example, erofs supports direct_IO for uncompressed files. So return
-EINVAL when the file doesn't support direct_IO to fix this problem.

change since v2:
 - Return error in ovl_open directly. (Chengguang Xu)

Change since v1:
 - Return error to user rather than fall back to buffered io. (Chengguang Xu)

I just looked around the code more closely, in open_with_fake_path(),

do_dentry_open() has already checked O_DIRECT open flag and 
a_ops->direct_IO of underlying real address_space.

Am I missing something?


Thanks,

It seems that loop_update_dio will set lo->use_dio after open file 
without set O_DIRECT.
loop_update_dio will check f_mapping->a_ops->direct_IO but it deal with 
ovl_aops with
noop _direct_IO.

So I think we still need a new aops?

It means we should only set ->direct_IO for overlayfs inodes whose 
underlying fs has DIRECT IO ability.


Hi Miklos,

Is it right solution for this kind of issue? What do you think?

First let's fix the oops: ovl_read_iter()/ovl_write_iter() must check
real file's ->direct_IO if IOCB_DIRECT is set in iocb->ki_flags and
return -EINVAL if not.

To fix the loop -> overlay -> squashfs case your suggestion of having
separate aops depending on the real inode's ->direct_IO sounds good.

Thanks,
Miklos

And here's that fix.  Please test.

Subject: ovl: fix IOCB_DIRECT if underlying fs doesn't support direct IO

Normally the check at open time suffices, but e.g loop device does set
IOCB_DIRECT after doing its own checks (which are not sufficent for
overlayfs).

Make sure we don't call the underlying filesystem read/write method with
the IOCB_DIRECT if it's not supported.
