[PATCH 24/38] union-mount: Copy up directory entries on first readdir()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



readdir() in union mounts is implemented by copying up all visible
directory entries from the lower level directories to the topmost
directory.  Directory entries that refer to lower level file system
objects are marked as "fallthru" in the topmost directory.

Thanks to Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx> for a bug fix.

XXX - How to deal with fallthrus in lower layers?

+ * place when we return.  Our solution is to, on first readdir() of
+ * the directory, copy up all visible entries from the low-level file
+ * systems and mark the entries that refer to low-level file system
+ * objects as "fallthru" entries.
+ *
+ * Locking strategy: We hold the topmost dir's i_mutex on entry.  We
+ * grab the i_mutex on lower directories one by one.  So the locking
+ * order is:
+ *
+ * Writable/topmost layers > Read-only/lower layers
+ *
+ * So there is no problem with lock ordering for union stacks with
+ * multiple lower layers.  E.g.:
+ *
+ * (topmost) A->B->C (bottom)
+ * (topmost) D->C->B (bottom)
