2023-09-04ovl: fix failed copyup of fileattr on a symlinkAmir Goldstein1-1/+2
Some local filesystems support setting persistent fileattr flags (e.g. FS_NOATIME_FL) on directories and regular files via ioctl. Some of those persistent fileattr flags are reflected to vfs as in-memory inode flags (e.g. S_NOATIME). Overlayfs uses the in-memory inode flags (e.g. S_NOATIME) on a lower file as an indication that a the lower file may have persistent inode fileattr flags (e.g. FS_NOATIME_FL) that need to be copied to upper file. However, in some cases, the S_NOATIME in-memory flag could be a false indication for persistent FS_NOATIME_FL fileattr. For example, with NFS and FUSE lower fs, as was the case in the two bug reports, the S_NOATIME flag is set unconditionally for all inodes. Users cannot set persistent fileattr flags on symlinks and special files, but in some local fs, such as ext4/btrfs/tmpfs, the FS_NOATIME_FL fileattr flag are inheritted to symlinks and special files from parent directory. In both cases described above, when lower symlink has the S_NOATIME flag, overlayfs will try to copy the symlink's fileattrs and fail with error ENOXIO, because it could not open the symlink for the ioctl security hook. To solve this failure, do not attempt to copyup fileattrs for anything other than directories and regular files.

2023-08-12ovl: add support for unique fsid per instanceAmir Goldstein1-1/+1
The legacy behavior of ovl_statfs() reports the f_fsid filled by underlying upper fs. This fsid is not unique among overlayfs instances on the same upper fs. With mount option uuid=on, generate a non-persistent uuid per overlayfs instance and use it as the seed for f_fsid, similar to tmpfs. This is useful for reporting fanotify events with fid info from different instances of overlayfs over the same upper fs. The old behavior of null uuid and upper fs fsid is retained with the mount option uuid=null, which is the default. The mount option uuid=off that disables uuid checks in underlying layers also retains the legacy behavior. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>
2023-08-12ovl: Handle verity during copy-upAlexander Larsson1-4/+44
During regular metacopy, if lowerdata file has fs-verity enabled, and the verity option is enabled, we add the digest to the metacopy xattr. If verity is required, and lowerdata does not have fs-verity enabled, fall back to full copy-up (or the generated metacopy would not validate).

2023-08-12ovl: Validate verity xattr when resolving lowerdataAlexander Larsson1-1/+1
The new digest field in the metacopy xattr is used during lookup to record whether the header contained a digest in the OVL_HAS_DIGEST flags. When accessing file data the first time, if OVL_HAS_DIGEST is set, we reload the metadata and check that the source lowerdata inode matches the specified digest in it (according to the enabled verity options). If the verity check passes we store this info in the inode flags as OVL_VERIFIED_DIGEST, so that we can avoid doing it again if the inode remains in memory. The verification is done in ovl_maybe_validate_verity() which needs to be called in the same places as ovl_maybe_lookup_lowerdata(), so there is a new ovl_verify_lowerdata() helper that calls these in the right order, and all current callers of ovl_maybe_lookup_lowerdata() are changed to call it instead.

2023-06-19ovl: implement lazy lookup of lowerdata in data-only layersAmir Goldstein1-0/+9
Defer lookup of lowerdata in the data-only layers to first data access or before copy up. We perform lowerdata lookup before copy up even if copy up is metadata only copy up. We can further optimize this lookup later if needed. We do best effort lazy lookup of lowerdata for d_real_inode(), because this interface does not expect errors. The only current in-tree caller of d_real_inode() is trace_uprobe and this caller is likely going to be followed reading from the file, before placing uprobes on offset within the file, so lowerdata should be available when setting the uprobe.

2023-01-27ovl: fail on invalid uid/gid mapping at copy upMiklos Szeredi1-0/+4
If st_uid/st_gid doesn't have a mapping in the mounter's user_ns, then copy-up should fail, just like it would fail if the mounter task was doing the copy using "cp -a". There's a corner case where the "cp -a" would succeed but copy up fail: if there's a mapping of the invalid uid/gid (65534 by default) in the user namespace. This is because stat(2) will return this value if the mapping doesn't exist in the current user_ns and "cp -a" will in turn be able to create a file with this uid/gid. This behavior would be inconsistent with POSIX ACL's, which return -1 for invalid uid/gid which result in a failed copy. For consistency and simplicity fail the copy of the st_uid/st_gid are invalid.

2022-06-26attr: port attribute changes to new typesChristian Brauner1-2/+2
Now that we introduced new infrastructure to increase the type safety for filesystems supporting idmapped mounts port the first part of the vfs over to them. This ports the attribute changes codepaths to rely on the new better helpers using a dedicated type. Before this change we used to take a shortcut and place the actual values that would be written to inode->i_{g,u}id into struct iattr. This had the advantage that we moved idmappings mostly out of the picture early on but it made reasoning about changes more difficult than it should be. The filesystem was never explicitly told that it dealt with an idmapped mount. The transition to the value that needed to be stored in inode->i_{g,u}id appeared way too early and increased the probability of bugs in various codepaths. We know place the same value in struct iattr no matter if this is an idmapped mount or not. The vfs will only deal with type safe vfs{g,u}id_t. This makes it massively safer to perform permission checks as the type will tell us what checks we need to perform and what helpers we need to use. Fileystems raising FS_ALLOW_IDMAP can't simply write ia_vfs{g,u}id to inode->i_{g,u}id since they are different types. Instead they need to use the dedicated vfs{g,u}id_to_k{g,u}id() helpers that map the vfs{g,u}id into the filesystem. The other nice effect is that filesystems like overlayfs don't need to care about idmappings explicitly anymore and can simply set up struct iattr accordingly directly.

Add a helper that allows to retrieve ovl xattrs from either lower or upper layers. To stop passing mnt and dentry separately everywhere use struct path which more accurately reflects the tight coupling between mount and dentry in this helper. Swich over all places to pass a path argument that can operate on either upper or lower layers. This is needed to support idmapped base layers with overlayfs. Some helpers are always called with an upper dentry, which is now utilized by these helpers to create the path. Make this usage explicit by renaming the argument to "upperdentry" and by renaming the function as well in some cases. Also add a check in ovl_do_getxattr() to catch misuse of these functions.

2022-04-28ovl: use ovl_do_notify_change() wrapperChristian Brauner1-4/+4
Introduce ovl_do_notify_change() as a simple wrapper around notify_change() to support idmapped layers. The helper mirrors other ovl_do_*() helpers that operate on the upper layers. When changing ownership of an upper object the intended ownership needs to be mapped according to the upper layer's idmapping. This mapping is the inverse to the mapping applied when copying inode information from an upper layer to the corresponding overlay inode. So e.g., when an upper mount maps files that are stored on-disk as owned by id 1001 to 1000 this means that calling stat on this object from an idmapped mount will report the file as being owned by id 1000. Consequently in order to change ownership of an object in this filesystem so it appears as being owned by id 1000 in the upper idmapped layer it needs to store id 1001 on disk. The mnt mapping helpers take care of this. All idmapping helpers are nops when no idmapped base layers are used.

This failure is propagated to origial operation (in this case rename) that triggered the copy-up. The fix is to ignore ENOTTY and EINVAL errors from fileattr_get() in copy up. This also requires turning the internal ENOIOCTLCMD into ENOTTY. As a further measure to prevent unnecessary failures, only try the fileattr_get/set on upper if there are any flags to copy up. Side note: a number of filesystems set S_NOATIME (and sometimes other inode flags) irrespective of fileattr flags. This causes unnecessary calls during copy up, which might lead to a performance issue, especially if latency is high. To fix this, the kernel would need to differentiate between the two cases. E.g. introduce SB_NOATIME_UPDATE, a per-sb variant of S_NOATIME. SB_NOATIME doesn't work, because that's interpreted as "filesystem doesn't store an atime attribute" Reported-and-tested-by: Kevin Locke <kevin@kevinlocke.name> Fixes: 72db82115d2b ("ovl: copy up sync/noatime fileattr flags") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v5.15 Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

2021-08-17ovl: consistent behavior for immutable/append-only inodesAmir Goldstein1-2/+15
When a lower file has immutable/append-only fileattr flags, the behavior of overlayfs post copy up is inconsistent. Immediattely after copy up, ovl inode still has the S_IMMUTABLE/S_APPEND inode flags copied from lower inode, so vfs code still treats the ovl inode as immutable/append-only. After ovl inode evict or mount cycle, the ovl inode does not have these inode flags anymore. We cannot copy up the immutable and append-only fileattr flags, because immutable/append-only inodes cannot be linked and because overlayfs will not be able to set overlay.* xattr on the upper inodes. Instead, if any of the fileattr flags of interest exist on the lower inode, we store them in overlay.protattr xattr on the upper inode and we read the flags from xattr on lookup and on fileattr_get(). This gives consistent behavior post copy up regardless of inode eviction from cache. When user sets new fileattr flags, we update or remove the overlay.protattr xattr. Storing immutable/append-only fileattr flags in an xattr instead of upper fileattr also solves other non-standard behavior issues - overlayfs can now copy up children of "ovl-immutable" directories and lower aliases of "ovl-immutable" hardlinks.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner: "This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and maintainers. Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here are just a few: - Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the implementation of portable home directories in systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at login time. - It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged containers without having to change ownership permanently through chown(2). - It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their Linux subsystem. - It is possible to share files between containers with non-overlapping idmappings. - Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC) permission checking. - They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of all files. - Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home directory and container and vm scenario. - Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only apply as long as the mount exists. Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull this: - systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away in their implementation of portable home directories. https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/ - container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734 - The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is ported. - ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers. I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones: https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdf https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/ This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and xfs: https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to merge this. In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount. By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace. The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the testsuite. Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is currently marked with. The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern of extensibility. The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped mount: - The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in. - The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts. - The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped. - The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem. The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler. By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no behavioral or performance changes are observed. The manpage with a detailed description can be found here: https://git.kernel.org/brauner/man-pages/c/1d7b902e2875a1ff342e036a9f866a995640aea8 In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify that port has been done correctly. The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform mounts based on file descriptors only. Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2() RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and path resolution. While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing. With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api, covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and projects. There is a simple tool available at https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you decide to pull this in the following weeks: Here's an example to a simple idmapped mount of another user's home directory: u1001@f2-vm:/$ sudo ./mount --idmap both:1000:1001:1 /home/ubuntu/ /mnt u1001@f2-vm:/$ ls -al /home/ubuntu/ total 28 drwxr-xr-x 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Oct 28 22:07 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 28 04:00 .. -rw------- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 3154 Oct 28 22:12 .bash_history -rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 220 Feb 25 2020 .bash_logout -rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 3771 Feb 25 2020 .bashrc -rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 807 Feb 25 2020 .profile -rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Oct 16 16:11 .sudo_as_admin_successful -rw------- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 1144 Oct 28 00:43 .viminfo u1001@f2-vm:/$ ls -al /mnt/ total 28 drwxr-xr-x 2 u1001 u1001 4096 Oct 28 22:07 . drwxr-xr-x 29 root root 4096 Oct 28 22:01 .. -rw------- 1 u1001 u1001 3154 Oct 28 22:12 .bash_history -rw-r--r-- 1 u1001 u1001 220 Feb 25 2020 .bash_logout -rw-r--r-- 1 u1001 u1001 3771 Feb 25 2020 .bashrc -rw-r--r-- 1 u1001 u1001 807 Feb 25 2020 .profile -rw-r--r-- 1 u1001 u1001 0 Oct 16 16:11 .sudo_as_admin_successful -rw------- 1 u1001 u1001 1144 Oct 28 00:43 .viminfo u1001@f2-vm:/$ touch /mnt/my-file u1001@f2-vm:/$ setfacl -m u:1001:rwx /mnt/my-file u1001@f2-vm:/$ sudo setcap -n 1001 cap_net_raw+ep /mnt/my-file u1001@f2-vm:/$ ls -al /mnt/my-file -rw-rwxr--+ 1 u1001 u1001 0 Oct 28 22:14 /mnt/my-file u1001@f2-vm:/$ ls -al /home/ubuntu/my-file -rw-rwxr--+ 1 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Oct 28 22:14 /home/ubuntu/my-file u1001@f2-vm:/$ getfacl /mnt/my-file getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: mnt/my-file # owner: u1001 # group: u1001 user::rw- user:u1001:rwx group::rw- mask::rwx other::r-- u1001@f2-vm:/$ getfacl /home/ubuntu/my-file getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: home/ubuntu/my-file # owner: ubuntu # group: ubuntu user::rw- user:ubuntu:rwx group::rw- mask::rwx other::r--" * tag 'idmapped-mounts-v5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: (41 commits) xfs: remove the possibly unused mp variable in xfs_file_compat_ioctl xfs: support idmapped mounts ext4: support idmapped mounts fat: handle idmapped mounts tests: add mount_setattr() selftests fs: introduce MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP fs: add mount_setattr() fs: add attr_flags_to_mnt_flags helper fs: split out functions to hold writers namespace: only take read lock in do_reconfigure_mnt() mount: make {lock,unlock}_mount_hash() static namespace: take lock_mount_hash() directly when changing flags nfs: do not export idmapped mounts overlayfs: do not mount on top of idmapped mounts ecryptfs: do not mount on top of idmapped mounts ima: handle idmapped mounts apparmor: handle idmapped mounts fs: make helpers idmap mount aware exec: handle idmapped mounts would_dump: handle idmapped mounts ...
2021-01-28ovl: skip getxattr of security labelsAmir Goldstein1-7/+8
When inode has no listxattr op of its own (e.g. squashfs) vfs_listxattr calls the LSM inode_listsecurity hooks to list the xattrs that LSMs will intercept in inode_getxattr hooks. When selinux LSM is installed but not initialized, it will list the security.selinux xattr in inode_listsecurity, but will not intercept it in inode_getxattr. This results in -ENODATA for a getxattr call for an xattr returned by listxattr. This situation was manifested as overlayfs failure to copy up lower files from squashfs when selinux is built-in but not initialized, because ovl_copy_xattr() iterates the lower inode xattrs by vfs_listxattr() and vfs_getxattr(). ovl_copy_xattr() skips copy up of security labels that are indentified by inode_copy_up_xattr LSM hooks, but it does that after vfs_getxattr(). Since we are not going to copy them, skip vfs_getxattr() of the security labels.

2021-01-24xattr: handle idmapped mountsTycho Andersen1-7/+7
When interacting with extended attributes the vfs verifies that the caller is privileged over the inode with which the extended attribute is associated. For posix access and posix default extended attributes a uid or gid can be stored on-disk. Let the functions handle posix extended attributes on idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount we need to map it according to the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to non-idmapped mounts. This has no effect for e.g. security xattrs since they don't store uids or gids and don't perform permission checks on them like posix acls do.

2021-01-24attr: handle idmapped mountsChristian Brauner1-4/+4
When file attributes are changed most filesystems rely on the setattr_prepare(), setattr_copy(), and notify_change() helpers for initialization and permission checking. Let them handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before. Helpers that perform checks on the ia_uid and ia_gid fields in struct iattr assume that ia_uid and ia_gid are intended values and have already been mapped correctly at the userspace-kernelspace boundary as we already do today. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.

2020-11-12ovl: introduce new "uuid=off" option for inodes index featurePavel Tikhomirov1-1/+2
This replaces uuid with null in overlayfs file handles and thus relaxes uuid checks for overlay index feature. It is only possible in case there is only one filesystem for all the work/upper/lower directories and bare file handles from this backing filesystem are unique. In other case when we have multiple filesystems lets just fallback to "uuid=on" which is and equivalent of how it worked before with all uuid checks. This is needed when overlayfs is/was mounted in a container with index enabled (e.g.: to be able to resolve inotify watch file handles on it to paths in CRIU), and this container is copied and started alongside with the original one. This way the "copy" container can't have the same uuid on the superblock and mounting the overlayfs from it later would fail. That is an example of the problem on top of loop+ext4: dd if=/dev/zero of=loopbackfile.img bs=100M count=10 losetup -fP loopbackfile.img losetup -a #/dev/loop0: [64768]:35 (/loop-test/loopbackfile.img) mkfs.ext4 loopbackfile.img mkdir loop-mp mount -o loop /dev/loop0 loop-mp mkdir loop-mp/{lower,upper,work,merged} mount -t overlay overlay -oindex=on,lowerdir=loop-mp/lower,\ upperdir=loop-mp/upper,workdir=loop-mp/work loop-mp/merged umount loop-mp/merged umount loop-mp e2fsck -f /dev/loop0 tune2fs -U random /dev/loop0 mount -o loop /dev/loop0 loop-mp mount -t overlay overlay -oindex=on,lowerdir=loop-mp/lower,\ upperdir=loop-mp/upper,workdir=loop-mp/work loop-mp/merged #mount: /loop-test/loop-mp/merged: #mount(2) system call failed: Stale file handle. If you just change the uuid of the backing filesystem, overlay is not mounting any more. In Virtuozzo we copy container disks (ploops) when create the copy of container and we require fs uuid to be unique for a new container.

2020-09-02ovl: provide a mount option "volatile"Vivek Goyal1-4/+8
Container folks are complaining that dnf/yum issues too many sync while installing packages and this slows down the image build. Build requirement is such that they don't care if a node goes down while build was still going on. In that case, they will simply throw away unfinished layer and start new build. So they don't care about syncing intermediate state to the disk and hence don't want to pay the price associated with sync. So they are asking for mount options where they can disable sync on overlay mount point. They primarily seem to have two use cases. - For building images, they will mount overlay with nosync and then sync upper layer after unmounting overlay and reuse upper as lower for next layer. - For running containers, they don't seem to care about syncing upper layer because if node goes down, they will simply throw away upper layer and create a fresh one. So this patch provides a mount option "volatile" which disables all forms of sync. Now it is caller's responsibility to throw away upper if system crashes or shuts down and start fresh. With "volatile", I am seeing roughly 20% speed up in my VM where I am just installing emacs in an image. Installation time drops from 31 seconds to 25 seconds when nosync option is used. This is for the case of building on top of an image where all packages are already cached. That way I take out the network operations latency out of the measurement. Giuseppe is also looking to cut down on number of iops done on the disk. He is complaining that often in cloud their VMs are throttled if they cross the limit. This option can help them where they reduce number of iops (by cutting down on frequent sync and writebacks).

2020-03-17ovl: ignore failure to copy up unknown xattrsMiklos Szeredi1-2/+14
This issue came up with NFSv4 as the lower layer, which generates "system.nfs4_acl" xattrs (even for plain old unix permissions). Prior to this patch this prevented copy-up from succeeding. The overlayfs permission model mandates that permissions are checked locally for the task and remotely for the mounter(*). NFS4 ACLs are not supported by the Linux kernel currently, hence they cannot be enforced locally. Which means it is indifferent whether this attribute is copied or not. Generalize this to any xattr that is not used in access checking (i.e. it's not a POSIX ACL and not in the "security." namespace). Incidentally, best effort copying of xattrs seems to also be the behavior of "cp -a", which is what overlayfs tries to mimic.
