Ok, here goes. I had to setup a new virtual machine that doesn't use overlayfs for its root filesystem because turning on dynamic debug gave way too much output for a nice controlled test. It's exhibiting the same behavior as my previous tests (5.8 good, 5.9 bad). The is with a freshly compiled 5.9.15 w/ CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_XINO_AUTO turned off and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG turned on. Here's what we get: echo "file fs/overlayfs/* +p" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control mount borky2.sqsh t mount -t tmpfs tmp tt mkdir -p tt/upper/{upper,work} mount -t overlay -o \ lowerdir=t,upperdir=tt/upper/upper,workdir=tt/upper/work blarg ttt [ 164.505193] overlayfs: mkdir(work/work, 040000) = 0 [ 164.505204] overlayfs: tmpfile(work/work, 0100000) = 0 [ 164.505209] overlayfs: create(work/#3, 0100000) = 0 [ 164.505210] overlayfs: rename(work/#3, work/#4, 0x4) [ 164.505216] overlayfs: unlink(work/#3) = 0 [ 164.505217] overlayfs: unlink(work/#4) = 0 [ 164.505221] overlayfs: setxattr(work/work, "trusted.overlay.opaque", "0", 1, 0x0) = 0 touch ttt/FOO touch: cannot touch 'ttt/FOO': No data available [ 191.919498] overlayfs: setxattr(upper/upper, "trusted.overlay.impure", "y", 1, 0x0) = 0 [ 191.919523] overlayfs: tmpfile(work/work, 0100644) = 0 [ 191.919788] overlayfs: tmpfile(work/work, 0100644) = 0 That give you any hints? I'll start reading through the overlayfs code. I've never actually looked at it, so I'll be planting printk calls at random. ;-) -- Michael D Labriola 21 Rip Van Winkle Cir Warwick, RI 02886 401-316-9844 (cell)
