2017-02-07ovl: introduce copy up waitqueueAmir Goldstein
The overlay sb 'copyup_wq' and overlay inode 'copying' condition variable are about to replace the upper sb rename_lock, as finer grained synchronization objects for concurrent copy up.

2016-12-16ovl: opaque cleanupMiklos Szeredi
oe->opaque is set for a) whiteouts b) directories having the "trusted.overlay.opaque" xattr Case b can be simplified, since setting the xattr always implies setting oe->opaque. Also once set, the opaque flag is never cleared. Don't need to set opaque flag for non-directories. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
2016-12-16ovl: redirect on rename-dirMiklos Szeredi
Current code returns EXDEV when a directory would need to be copied up to move. We could copy up the directory tree in this case, but there's another, simpler solution: point to old lower directory from moved upper directory. This is achieved with a "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr storing the path relative to the root of the overlay. After such attribute has been set, the directory can be moved without further actions required. This is a backward incompatible feature, old kernels won't be able to correctly mount an overlay containing redirected directories. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
2016-12-16ovl: split super.cMiklos Szeredi
fs/overlayfs/super.c is the biggest of the overlayfs source files and it contains various utility functions as well as the rather complicated lookup code. Split these parts out to separate files.
