Added your dcache patch to the series and reworked my patches
to use the new helpers.
Tested result is pushed to:
https://github.com/amir73il/linux/commits/ovl-nfs-export-v3
Prep patches changes since v2:
- Rebased over fix patch "hash all directory inodes for fsnotify"
- Rename mount/config option from "verify" to "nfs_export"
- Force r/o mount when index dir creation fails
- Allow enabling "nfs_export" for non-upper mount
- Require "redirect_dir=nofollow" for non-upper mount
- Rename dir index entries xattr from ".origin" to ".upper"
- Re-factor ovl_{get|set|verify}_origin() helpers
- Simplify test for temp index name (starts with #)
- Abandon ovl_dentry_is_renamed() test for lower st_ino
- Document overhead on mount with full index
- Document change of behavior when verifying lower origin
- Added patch to make room in ovl_entry struct
NFS export changes since v2:
- Fix exportfs ops for r/o overlay with no upperdir
- Document reason for copy up directory on encode
- Take care of racing with rename while connecting dir
- Explain the reasons for choosing the 'connected' dir approach
- Do not add dentry without ovl_entry to dcache
Optimizations TODO:
- Copy up on encode only when lower ancestor is below middle layer redirect
- Hash inode by fh to avoid origin decode of whiteout fh
As far as I know, the series is now functionally correct and all comments
so far addressed. The remaining optimizations will be done on top of this
series.
Thanks,
Amir.
