Hi Eric,

>From my testing, overlayfs+fscrypt should work fine.  I tried mounting
it on top of encrypted directories, with and without key, and will add
this information to the commit message.  If we adopt the suggestion from
Al in the other subthread, even better, we won't need the first
d_revalidate to happen before the check, so I'll adopt that.

While looking into overlayfs, I found another reason we would need this
patchset.  A side effect of not configuring ->d_op through s_d_op is
that the root dentry won't have d_op set.  While this is fine for
casefold, because we forbid the root directory from being
case-insensitive, we can trick overlayfs into mounting a
filesystem it can't handle.

Even with this merged, and as Christian said in another thread regarding
ecryptfs, we should handle this explicitly.  Something like below.

Amir, would you consider this for -rc8?

Subject: [PATCH] ovl: Reject mounting case-insensitive filesystems

overlayfs relies on the filesystem setting DCACHE_OP_HASH or
DCACHE_OP_COMPARE to reject mounting over case-insensitive directories.

Since commit bb9cd9106b22 ("fscrypt: Have filesystems handle their
d_ops"), we set ->d_op through a hook in ->d_lookup, which
means the root dentry won't have them, causing the mount to accidentally
succeed.

In v6.7-rc7, the following sequence will succeed to mount, but any
dentry other than the root dentry will be a "weird" dentry to ovl and
fail with EREMOTE.

  mkfs.ext4 -O casefold lower.img
  mount -O loop lower.img lower
  mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work ovl /mnt

Mounting on a subdirectory fails, as expected, because DCACHE_OP_HASH
and DCACHE_OP_COMPARE are properly set by ->lookup.

Fix by explicitly rejecting superblocks that allow case-insensitive
dentries.
