OpenWRT folks reported that overlayfs fails to mount if upper fs is full,
because workdir can't be created. Wordir creation can fail for various
other reasons too.
There's no reason that the mount itself should fail, overlayfs can work
fine without a workdir, as long as the overlay isn't modified.
So mount it read-only and don't allow remounting read-write.
Add a couple of WARN_ON()s for the impossible case of workdir being used
despite being read-only.

When removing an opaque directory we can't just call rmdir() to check for
emptiness, because the directory will need to be replaced with a whiteout.
The replacement is done with RENAME_EXCHANGE, which doesn't check
emptiness.
Solution is just to check emptiness by reading the directory. In the
future we could add a new rename flag to check for emptiness even for
RENAME_EXCHANGE to optimize this case.

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.

Convert the following where appropriate:
(1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).
(2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).
(3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more
complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in
question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
a ->d_automount op.
In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).
Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.
However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.
There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.
The following perl+coccinelle script was used:
use strict;
my @callers;
open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*->d_inode\' |') ||

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.

Xattr operations can race with copy up. This does not matter as long as
we consistently fiter out "trunsted.overlay.opaque" attribute on upper
directories.
Previously we checked parent against OVL_PATH_MERGE. This is too general,
and prone to race with copy-up. I.e. we found the parent to be on the
lower layer but ovl_dentry_real() would return the copied-up dentry,
possibly with the "opaque" attribute.
So instead use ovl_path_real() and decide to filter the attributes based on
the actual type of the dentry we'll use.

ovl_remove_and_whiteout() needs to check if upper dentry exists or not
after having locked upper parent directory.
Previously we used a "type" value computed before locking the upper parent
directory, which is susceptible to racing with copy-up.
There's a similar check in ovl_check_empty_and_clear(). This one is not
actually racy, since copy-up doesn't change the "emptyness" property of a
directory. Add a comment to this effect, and check the existence of upper
dentry locally to make the code cleaner.

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.

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

but it is better than nothing.

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
