After importing multi-lower layer support, users could mount a r/o
partition as the left most lowerdir instead of using it as upperdir.
And a r/o upperdir may cause an error like
overlayfs: failed to create directory ./workdir/work
during mount.
This patch check the *s_flags* of upper fs and return an error if
it is a r/o partition. The checking of *upper_mnt->mnt_sb->s_flags*
can be removed now.
This patch also remove
/* FIXME: workdir is not needed for a R/O mount */
from ovl_fill_super() because:
1) for upper fs r/o case
Setting a r/o partition as upper is prevented, no need to care about
workdir in this case.
2) for "mount overlay -o ro" with a r/w upper fs case
Users could remount overlayfs to r/w in this case, so workdir should
not be omitted.

Recently multi-lower layer mount support allow upperdir and workdir
to be omitted, then cause overlayfs can be mount with only one
lowerdir directory. This action make no sense and have potential risk.
This patch check the total number of lower directories to prevent
mounting overlayfs with only one directory.
Also, an error message is added to indicate lower directories exceed
OVL_MAX_STACK limit.

Overlayfs should be mounted read-only when upper-fs is read-only or nonexistent.
But now it can be remounted read-write and this can cause kernel panic.
So we should prevent read-write remount when the above situation happens.

Current multi-layer support overlayfs has a regression in
.lookup(). If there is a directory in upperdir and a regular
file has same name in lowerdir in a merged directory, lower
file is hidden and upper directory is set to opaque in former
case. But it is changed in present code.
In lowerdir lookup path, if a found inode is not directory,
the type checking of previous inode is missing. This inode
will be copied to the lowerstack of ovl_entry directly.
That will lead to several wrong conditions, for example,
the reading of the directory in upperdir may return an error
like:
ls: reading directory .: Not a directory
This patch makes the lowerdir lookup path check the opaque
for non-directory file too.

The function ovl_fill_super() in recently multi-layer support
version will incorrectly return 0 at error handling path and
then cause kernel panic.
This failure can be reproduced by mounting a overlayfs with
upperdir and workdir in different mounts.
And also, If the memory allocation of *lower_mnt* fail, this
function may return an zero either.
This patch fix this problem by setting *err* to proper error
number before jumping to error handling path.

"Suppose you have in one of the lower layers a filesystem with
->lookup()-enforced upper limit on name length. Pretty much every local fs
has one, but... they are not all equal. 255 characters is the common upper
limit, but e.g. jffs2 stops at 254, minixfs upper limit is somewhere from
14 to 60, depending upon version, etc. You are doing a lookup for
something that is present in upper layer, but happens to be too long for
one of the lower layers. Too bad - ENAMETOOLONG for you..."

Not checking whiteouts on lowest layer was an optimization (there's nothing
to white out there), but it could result in inconsitent behavior when a
layer previously used as upper/middle is later used as lowest.

If multiple lower layers exist, merge them as well in readdir according to

Add multiple lower layers to 'struct ovl_fs' and 'struct ovl_entry'.
ovl_entry will have an array of paths, instead of just the dentry. This
allows a compact array containing just the layers which exist at current
point in the tree (which is expected to be a small number for the majority
of dentries).
The number of layers is not limited by this infrastructure.

Some distributions carry an "old" format of overlayfs while mainline has a
"new" format.
The distros will possibly want to keep the old overlayfs alongside the new
for compatibility reasons.
To make it possible to differentiate the two versions change the name of
the new one from "overlayfs" to "overlay".

Add a simple read-only counter to super_block that indicates how deep this
is in the stack of filesystems. Previously ecryptfs was the only stackable
filesystem and it explicitly disallowed multiple layers of itself.
Overlayfs, however, can be stacked recursively and also may be stacked
on top of ecryptfs or vice versa.
To limit the kernel stack usage we must limit the depth of the
filesystem stack. Initially the limit is set to 2.

This is useful because of the stacking nature of overlayfs. Users like to
find out (via /proc/mounts) which lower/upper directory were used at mount
time.

Add support for statfs to the overlayfs filesystem. As the upper layer
is the target of all write operations assume that the space in that
filesystem is the space in the overlayfs. There will be some inaccuracy as
overwriting a file will copy it up and consume space we were not expecting,
but it is better than nothing.
Use the upper layer dentry and mount from the overlayfs root inode,
passing the statfs call to that filesystem.

Overlayfs allows one, usually read-write, directory tree to be
overlaid onto another, read-only directory tree. All modifications
go to the upper, writable layer.
This type of mechanism is most often used for live CDs but there's a
wide variety of other uses.
The implementation differs from other "union filesystem"
implementations in that after a file is opened all operations go
directly to the underlying, lower or upper, filesystems. This
simplifies the implementation and allows native performance in these
cases.
The dentry tree is duplicated from the underlying filesystems, this
enables fast cached lookups without adding special support into the
VFS. This uses slightly more memory than union mounts, but dentries
are relatively small.
Currently inodes are duplicated as well, but it is a possible
optimization to share inodes for non-directories.
Opening non directories results in the open forwarded to the
underlying filesystem. This makes the behavior very similar to union
mounts (with the same limitations vs. fchmod/fchown on O_RDONLY file
descriptors).
Usage:
mount -t overlayfs overlayfs -olowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper/upper,workdir=/upper/work /overlay

- ovl_clear_empty() - one failure exit forgetting to do unlock_rename(),
lack of check for udir being the parent of upper, dropping and regaining
the lock on udir (which would require _another_ check for parent being
right).
- bogus d_drop() in copyup and rename [fix from your mail]
- copyup/remove and copyup/rename races [fix from your mail]
- ovl_dir_fsync() leaving ERR_PTR() in ->realfile
- ovl_entry_free() is pointless - it's just a kfree_rcu()
- fold ovl_do_lookup() into ovl_lookup()
- manually assigning ->d_op is wrong. Just use ->s_d_op.
