There is no reason to deplete the system's global get_next_ino() pool for
overlay non-persistent inode numbers and there is no reason at all to
allocate non-persistent inode numbers for non-directories.
For non-directories, it is much better to leave i_ino the same as real
i_ino, to be consistent with st_ino/d_ino.

This fixes ovl_lower_uuid_ok() to correctly detect the corner case:
- two filesystems, A and B, both have null uuid
- upper layer is on A
- lower layer 1 is also on A
- lower layer 2 is on B
In this case, bad_uuid would not have been set for B, because the check
only involved the list of lower fs. Hence we'll try to decode a layer 2
origin on layer 1 and fail.
We check for conflicting (and null) uuid among all lower layers, including
those layers that are on the same fs as the upper layer.

Rename lower_fs[] array to fs[], extend its size by one and use index fsid
(instead of fsid-1) to access the fs[] array.
Initialize fs[0] with upper fs values. fsid 0 is reserved even with lower
only overlay, so fs[0] remains null in this case.

No code uses the sb returned from this helper, so make it retrun a boolean
and rename it to ovl_same_fs().
The xino mode is irrelevant when all layers are on same fs, so instead of
describing samefs with mode OVL_XINO_OFF, use a new xino_mode state, which
is 0 in the case of samefs, -1 in the case of xino=off and > 0 with xino
enabled.
Create a new helper ovl_same_dev(), to use instead of the common check for
(ovl_same_fs() || xinobits).

In the past, overlayfs required that lower fs have non null uuid in
order to support nfs export and decode copy up origin file handles.
Commit 9df085f3c9a2 ("ovl: relax requirement for non null uuid of
lower fs") relaxed this requirement for nfs export support, as long
as uuid (even if null) is unique among all lower fs.
However, said commit unintentionally also relaxed the non null uuid
requirement for decoding copy up origin file handles, regardless of
the unique uuid requirement.
Amend this mistake by disabling decoding of copy up origin file handle
from lower fs with a conflicting uuid.
We still encode copy up origin file handles from those fs, because
file handles like those already exist in the wild and because they
might provide useful information in the future.
There is an unhandled corner case described by Miklos this way:
- two filesystems, A and B, both have null uuid
- upper layer is on A
- lower layer 1 is also on A
- lower layer 2 is on B
In this case bad_uuid won't be set for B, because the check only
involves the list of lower fs. Hence we'll try to decode a layer 2
origin on layer 1 and fail.
We will deal with this corner case later.

Once upon a time, commit 2cac0c00a6cd ("ovl: get exclusive ownership on
upper/work dirs") in v4.13 added some sanity checks on overlayfs layers.
This change caused a docker regression. The root cause was mount leaks
by docker, which as far as I know, still exist.
To mitigate the regression, commit 85fdee1eef1a ("ovl: fix regression
caused by exclusive upper/work dir protection") in v4.14 turned the
mount errors into warnings for the default index=off configuration.
Recently, commit 146d62e5a586 ("ovl: detect overlapping layers") in
v5.2, re-introduced exclusive upper/work dir checks regardless of
index=off configuration.
This changes the status quo and mount leak related bug reports have
started to re-surface. Restore the status quo to fix the regressions.
To clarify, index=off does NOT relax overlapping layers check for this
ovelayfs mount. index=off only relaxes exclusive upper/work dir checks
with another overlayfs mount.
To cover the part of overlapping layers detection that used the
exclusive upper/work dir checks to detect overlap with self upper/work
dir, add a trap also on the work base dir.

Overlapping overlay layers are not supported and can cause unexpected
behavior, but overlayfs does not currently check or warn about these
configurations.
User is not supposed to specify the same directory for upper and
lower dirs or for different lower layers and user is not supposed to
specify directories that are descendants of each other for overlay
layers, but that is exactly what this zysbot repro did:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/repro.syz?x=12c7a94f400000
Moving layer root directories into other layers while overlayfs
is mounted could also result in unexpected behavior.
This commit places "traps" in the overlay inode hash table.
Those traps are dummy overlay inodes that are hashed by the layers
root inodes.
On mount, the hash table trap entries are used to verify that overlay
layers are not overlapping. While at it, we also verify that overlay
layers are not overlapping with directories "in-use" by other overlay
instances as upperdir/workdir.
On lookup, the trap entries are used to verify that overlay layers
root inodes have not been moved into other layers after mount.
Some examples:
$ ./run --ov --samefs -s
...
( mkdir -p base/upper/0/u base/upper/0/w base/lower lower upper mnt
mount -o bind base/lower lower
mount -o bind base/upper upper

Right now ovl_inode stores inode pointer for lower inode. This helps with
quickly getting lower inode given overlay inode (ovl_inode_lower()).
Now with metadata only copy-up, we can have metacopy inode in middle layer
as well and inode containing data can be different from ->lower. I need to
be able to open the real file in ovl_open_realfile() and for that I need to
quickly find the lower data inode.
Hence store lower data inode also in ovl_inode. Also provide an helper
ovl_inode_lowerdata() to access this field.

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.

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".

On 64bit systems, when overlay layers are not all on the same fs, but
all inode numbers of underlying fs are not using the high bits, use the
high bits to partition the overlay st_ino address space. The high bits
hold the fsid (upper fsid is 0). This way overlay inode numbers are unique
and all inodes use overlay st_dev. Inode numbers are also persistent
for a given layer configuration.
Currently, our only indication for available high ino bits is from a
filesystem that supports file handles and uses the default encode_fh()
operation, which encodes a 32bit inode number.

Instead of allocating an anonymous bdev per lower layer, allocate
one anonymous bdev per every unique lower fs that is different than
upper fs.
Every unique lower fs is assigned an fsid > 0 and the number of
unique lower fs are stored in ofs->numlowerfs.
The assigned fsid is stored in the lower layer struct and will be
used also for inode number multiplexing.

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.

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.

Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:
- Report constant st_ino values across copy-up even if underlying
layers are on different filesystems, but using different st_dev
values for each layer.
Ideally we'd report the same st_dev across the overlay, and it's
possible to do for filesystems that use only 32bits for st_ino by
unifying the inum space. It would be nice if it wasn't a choice of 32
or 64, rather filesystems could report their current maximum (that
could change on resize, so it wouldn't be set in stone).
- miscellaneus fixes and a cleanup of ovl_fill_super(), that was long
overdue.
- created a path_put_init() helper that clears out the pointers after
putting the ref.

Enforcing exclusive ownership on upper/work dirs caused a docker

Euan spotted the regression and pointed to the offending commit.
Vivek has brought the regression to my attention and provided this

Terminal 1:
mount -t overlay -o workdir=work,lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper none
merged/
Terminal 2:
unshare -m
Terminal 1:
umount merged
mount -t overlay -o workdir=work,lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper none
merged/
mount: /root/overlay-testing/merged: none already mounted or mount point
busy
To fix the regression, I replaced the error with an alarming warning.
With index feature enabled, mount does fail, but logs a suggestion to
override exclusive dir protection by disabling index.
Note that index=off mount does take the inuse locks, so a concurrent
index=off will issue the warning and a concurrent index=on mount will fail.
Documentation was updated to reflect this change.

When moving a merge dir or non-dir with copy up origin into a non-merge
upper dir (a.k.a pure upper dir), we are marking the target parent dir
"impure". ovl_iterate() iterates pure upper dirs directly, because there is
no need to filter out whiteouts and merge dir content with lower dir. But
for the case of an "impure" upper dir, ovl_iterate() will not be able to
iterate the real upper dir directly, because it will need to lookup the
origin inode and use it to fill d_ino.

Current code returns EXDEV when a directory would need to be copied up to
move. We could copy up the directory tree in this case, but there's
another, simpler solution: point to old lower directory from moved upper
directory.
This is achieved with a "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr storing the path
relative to the root of the overlay. After such attribute has been set,
the directory can be moved without further actions required.
This is a backward incompatible feature, old kernels won't be able to
correctly mount an overlay containing redirected directories.

If a directory has the "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr, it means that the
value of the xattr should be used to find the underlying directory on the
next lower layer.
The redirect may be relative or absolute. Absolute redirects begin with a
slash.
A relative redirect means: instead of the current dentry's name use the
value of the redirect to find the directory in the next lower
layer. Relative redirects must not contain a slash.
An absolute redirect means: look up the directory relative to the root of
the overlay using the value of the redirect in the next lower layer.
Redirects work on lower layers as well.
