Since the stacking of regular file operations [1], the overlayfs edition of
write_iter() is called when writing regular files.
Since then, xattr lookup is needed on every write since file_remove_privs()
is called from ovl_write_iter(), which would become the performance
bottleneck when writing small chunks of data. In my test case,
file_remove_privs() would consume ~15% CPU when running fstime of unixbench
(the workload is repeadly writing 1 KB to the same file) [2].
Inherit the SB_NOSEC flag from upperdir. Since then xattr lookup would be
done only once on the first write. Unixbench fstime gets a ~20% performance
gain with this patch.

Stacked filesystems like overlayfs has no own writeback, but they have to
forward syncfs() requests to backend for keeping data integrity.
During global sync() each overlayfs instance calls method ->sync_fs() for
backend although it itself is in global list of superblocks too. As a
result one syscall sync() could write one superblock several times and send
multiple disk barriers.
This patch adds flag SB_I_SKIP_SYNC into sb->sb_iflags to avoid that.

With index=on, let index dir act as the work dir for copy up and cleanups.
This will help implementing whiteout inode sharing.
We still create the "work" dir on mount regardless of index=on and it is
used to test the features supported by upper fs. One reason is that before
the feature tests, we do not know if index could be enabled or not.
The reason we do not use "index" directory also as workdir with index=off
is because the existence of the "index" directory acts as a simple
persistent signal that index was enabled on this filesystem and tools may
want to use that signal.

Similar to the way that a conflict between metacopy=on,redirect_dir=off is
resolved, also resolve conflicts between nfs_export=on,index=off and
nfs_export=on,metacopy=on.
An explicit mount option wins over a default config value. Both explicit
mount options result in an error.
Without this change the xfstests group overlay/exportfs are skipped if
metacopy is enabled by default.

The "buflen" value comes from the user and there is a potential that it
could be zero. In do_handle_to_path() we know that "handle->handle_bytes"
is non-zero and we do:
handle_dwords = handle->handle_bytes >> 2;
So values 1-3 become zero. Then in ovl_fh_to_dentry() we do:
int len = fh_len << 2;
So now len is in the "0,4-128" range and a multiple of 4. But if
"buflen" is zero it will try to copy negative bytes when we do the
memcpy in ovl_fid_to_fh().
memcpy(&fh->fb, fid, buflen - OVL_FH_WIRE_OFFSET);
And that will lead to a crash. Thanks to Amir Goldstein for his help
with this patch.

As of now during open(), we don't pass bunch of flags to underlying
filesystem. O_TRUNC is one of these. Normally this is not a problem as VFS
calls ->setattr() with zero size and underlying filesystem sets file size
to 0.
But when overlayfs is running on top of virtiofs, it has an optimization
where it does not send setattr request to server if dectects that
truncation is part of open(O_TRUNC). It assumes that server already zeroed
file size as part of open(O_TRUNC).
fuse_do_setattr() {
if (attr->ia_valid & ATTR_OPEN) {
/*
* No need to send request to userspace, since actual
* truncation has already been done by OPEN. But still
* need to truncate page cache.
*/
}
}
IOW, fuse expects O_TRUNC to be passed to it as part of open flags.
But currently overlayfs does not pass O_TRUNC to underlying filesystem
hence fuse/virtiofs breaks. Setup overlayfs on top of virtiofs and
following does not zero the file size of a file is either upper only or has
already been copied up.
fd = open(foo.txt, O_TRUNC | O_WRONLY);
There are two ways to fix this. Either pass O_TRUNC to underlying
filesystem or clear ATTR_OPEN from attr->ia_valid so that fuse ends up
sending a SETATTR request to server. Miklos is concerned that O_TRUNC might
have side affects so it is better to clear ATTR_OPEN for now. Hence this
patch clears ATTR_OPEN from attr->ia_valid.
I found this problem while running unionmount-testsuite. With this patch,
unionmount-testsuite passes with overlayfs on top of virtiofs.

ovl_setattr() can be passed an attr which has ATTR_FILE set and
attr->ia_file is a file pointer to overlay file. This is done in
open(O_TRUNC) path.
We should either replace with attr->ia_file with underlying file object or
clear ATTR_FILE so that underlying filesystem does not end up using
overlayfs file object pointer.
There are no good use cases yet so for now clear ATTR_FILE. fuse seems to
be one user which can use this. But it can work even without this. So it
is not mandatory to pass ATTR_FILE to fuse.

When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped
into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become
split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually
be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet
been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end
of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to
become split again.
However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which
means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually
split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where
we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up
putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely
unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in
incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted,
and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment.
There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently
accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong.
We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's
all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that
location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of
the munmap at the start of the mremap.
A really simple repro can be seen in:

Hi Linus,
Please, pull the following patches that replace zero-length arrays with
flexible-array members.
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member convertions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
Notice that all of these patches have been baking in linux-next for
quite a while now and, 238 more of these patches have already been
merged into 5.7-rc1.
There are a couple hundred more of these issues waiting to be addressed
in the whole codebase.

may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of

Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
