2024-05-02ovl: implement tmpfileMiklos Szeredi1-0/+23
Combine inode creation with opening a file. There are six separate objects that are being set up: the backing inode, dentry and file, and the overlay inode, dentry and file. Cleanup in case of an error is a bit of a challenge and is difficult to test, so careful review is needed. All tmpfile testcases except generic/509 now run/pass, and no regressions are observed with full xfstests.

2024-02-02fs: Use KMEM_CACHE instead of kmem_cache_createKunwu Chan1-3/+1
commit 0a31bd5f2bbb ("KMEM_CACHE(): simplify slab cache creation") introduces a new macro. Use the new KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of direct kmem_cache_create to simplify the creation of SLAB caches.

2023-12-23fs: factor out backing_file_mmap() helperAmir Goldstein1-0/+27
Assert that the file object is allocated in a backing_file container so that file_user_path() could be used to display the user path and not the backing file's path in /proc/<pid>/maps. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>
2023-12-23fs: factor out backing_file_splice_{read,write}() helpersAmir Goldstein1-0/+51
There is not much in those helpers, but it makes sense to have them logically next to the backing_file_{read,write}_iter() helpers as they may grow more common logic in the future. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>
2023-12-23fs: factor out backing_file_{read,write}_iter() helpersAmir Goldstein1-0/+210
Overlayfs submits files io to backing files on other filesystems. Factor out some common helpers to perform io to backing files, into fs/backing-file.c.

2023-12-23fs: prepare for stackable filesystems backing file helpersAmir Goldstein1-0/+48
In preparation for factoring out some backing file io helpers from overlayfs, move backing_file_open() into a new file fs/backing-file.c and header. Add a MAINTAINERS entry for stackable filesystems and add a Kconfig FS_STACK which stackable filesystems need to select. For now, the backing_file struct, the backing_file alloc/free functions and the backing_file_real_path() accessor remain internal to file_table.c. We may change that in the future.
