From 28166ab3c875b8cbe19b6ad43e29257d1605e3b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2020 11:56:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: initialize OVL_UPPERDATA in ovl_lookup() Currently ovl_get_inode() initializes OVL_UPPERDATA flag and for that it has to call ovl_check_metacopy_xattr() and check if metacopy xattr is present or not. yangerkun reported sometimes underlying filesystem might return -EIO and in that case error handling path does not cleanup properly leading to various warnings. Run generic/461 with ext4 upper/lower layer sometimes may trigger the bug as below(linux 4.19): [ 551.001349] overlayfs: failed to get metacopy (-5) [ 551.003464] overlayfs: failed to get inode (-5) [ 551.004243] overlayfs: cleanup of 'd44/fd51' failed (-5) [ 551.004941] overlayfs: failed to get origin (-5) [ 551.005199] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 551.006697] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 24674 at fs/inode.c:1528 iput+0x33b/0x400 ...

Amir thinks that this path is little intricate and there is not real need to check and initialize OVL_UPPERDATA in ovl_get_inode(). Instead caller of ovl_get_inode() can initialize this state. And this will avoid double checking of metacopy xattr lookup in ovl_lookup() and ovl_get_inode(). OVL_UPPERDATA is inode flag. So I was little concerned that initializing it outside ovl_get_inode() might have some races. But this is one way transition. That is once a file has been fully copied up, it can't go back to metacopy file again. And that seems to help avoid races. So as of now I can't see any races w.r.t OVL_UPPERDATA being set wrongly. So move settingof OVL_UPPERDATA inside the callers of ovl_get_inode(). ovl_obtain_alias() already does it. So only two callers now left are ovl_lookup() and ovl_instantiate().
