So far lower could not be a meta inode.  So whenever it was time to copy up
data of a meta inode, we could copy it up from top most lower dentry.

But now lower itself can be a metacopy inode.  That means data copy up
needs to take place from a data inode in metacopy inode chain.  Find lower
data inode in the chain and use that for data copy up.

Introduced a helper called ovl_path_lowerdata() to find the lower data
inode chain.

This patch modifies ovl_lookup() and friends to lookup metacopy dentries.
It also allows for presence of metacopy dentries in lower layer.

During lookup, check for presence of OVL_XATTR_METACOPY and if not present,
set OVL_UPPERDATA bit in flags.

We don't support metacopy feature with nfs_export.  So in nfs_export code,
we set OVL_UPPERDATA flag set unconditionally if upper inode exists.

Do not follow metacopy origin if we find a metacopy only inode and metacopy
feature is not enabled for that mount.  Like redirect, this can have
security implications where an attacker could hand craft upper and try to
gain access to file on lower which it should not have to begin with.

Right now we use goto out_nomem which assumes error code is -ENOMEM.  But
there are other errors returned like -ESTALE as well.  So instead of
out_nomem, use out_err which will do ERR_PTR(err).  That way one can put
error code in err and jump to out_err.

This just code reorganization and no change of functionality.

I am about to add more code and this organization helps laying more code

Now we will have the capability to have upper inodes which might be only
metadata copy up and data is still on lower inode.  So add a new xattr
OVL_XATTR_METACOPY to distinguish between two cases.

Presence of OVL_XATTR_METACOPY reflects that file has been copied up
metadata only and and data will be copied up later from lower origin.  So
this xattr is set when a metadata copy takes place and cleared when data
copy takes place.

We also use a bit in ovl_inode->flags to cache OVL_UPPERDATA which reflects
whether ovl inode has data or not (as opposed to metadata only copy up).

If a file is copied up metadata only and later when same file is opened for
WRITE, then data copy up takes place.  We copy up data, remove METACOPY
xattr and then set the UPPERDATA flag in ovl_inode->flags.  While all these
operations happen with oi->lock held, read side of oi->flags can be
lockless.  That is another thread on another cpu can check if UPPERDATA
flag is set or not.

So this gives us an ordering requirement w.r.t UPPERDATA flag.  That is, if
another cpu sees UPPERDATA flag set, then it should be guaranteed that
effects of data copy up and remove xattr operations are also visible.

For example.

	CPU1				CPU2
ovl_open()				acquire(oi->lock)
 ovl_open_maybe_copy_up()                ovl_copy_up_data()
  open_open_need_copy_up()		 vfs_removexattr()
   ovl_already_copied_up()
    ovl_dentry_needs_data_copy_up()	 ovl_set_flag(OVL_UPPERDATA)
     ovl_test_flag(OVL_UPPERDATA)       release(oi->lock)

Say CPU2 is copying up data and in the end sets UPPERDATA flag.  But if
CPU1 perceives the effects of setting UPPERDATA flag but not the effects of
preceding operations (ex. upper that is not fully copied up), it will be a
problem.

Hence this patch introduces smp_wmb() on setting UPPERDATA flag operation
and smp_rmb() on UPPERDATA flag test operation.

May be some other lock or barrier is already covering it. But I am not sure
what that is and is it obvious enough that we will not break it in future.

So hence trying to be safe here and introducing barriers explicitly for
UPPERDATA flag/bit.

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.

ovl_inode->redirect is an inode property and should be initialized in
ovl_get_inode() only when we are adding a new inode to cache.  If inode is
already in cache, it is already initialized and we should not be touching
ovl_inode->redirect field.

As of now this is not a problem as redirects are used only for directories
which don't share inode.  But soon I want to use redirects for regular
files also and there it can become an issue.

Hence, move ->redirect initialization in ovl_get_inode().

Overlayfs files will now automatically get the correct locks, no need to

It is a partial revert, because it leaves the locks_inode() calls in place
and defines locks_inode() to file_inode().  We could revert those as well,
but it would be unnecessary code churn and it makes sense to document that
we are getting the inode for locking purposes.

Don't revert MS_NOREMOTELOCK yet since that has been part of the userspace
API for some time (though not in a useful way).  Will try to remove
internal flags later when the dust around the new mount API settles.

In the common case we can just use the real file cached in
file->private_data.  There are two exceptions:

1) File has been copied up since open: in this unlikely corner case just
use a throwaway real file for the operation.  If ever this becomes a
perfomance problem (very unlikely, since overlayfs has been doing most fine
without correctly handling this case at all), then we can deal with that by
updating the cached real file.

2) File's f_flags have changed since open: no need to reopen the cached
real file, we can just change the flags there as well.

Implement file operations on a regular overlay file.  The underlying file
is opened separately and cached in ->private_data.

It might be worth making an exception for such files when accounting in
nr_file to confirm to userspace expectations.  We are only adding a small
overhead (248bytes for the struct file) since the real inode and dentry are
pinned by overlayfs anyway.

This patch doesn't have any effect, since the vfs will use d_real() to find
the real underlying file to open.  The patch at the end of the series will
actually enable this functionality.
