At present, overlayfs provides overlayfs inode to users. Overlayfs
inode provides ovl_aops with noop_direct_IO to avoid open failure
with O_DIRECT. But some compressed filesystems, such as erofs and
squashfs, don't support direct_IO.

Users who use f_mapping->a_ops->direct_IO to check O_DIRECT support,
will read file through this way. This will cause overlayfs to access
a non-existent direct_IO function and cause panic due to null pointer:

I just looked around the code more closely, in open_with_fake_path(),

do_dentry_open() has already checked O_DIRECT open flag and a_ops->direct_IO of underlying real address_space.

Am I missing something?



It seems that loop_update_dio will set lo->use_dio after open file without set O_DIRECT. loop_update_dio will check f_mapping->a_ops->direct_IO but it deal with ovl_aops with
noop _direct_IO.

So I think we still need a new aops?

Thanks,
Jianan

The filesystem may only support direct_IO for some file types. For
example, erofs supports direct_IO for uncompressed files. So return
-EINVAL when the file doesn't support direct_IO to fix this problem.

change since v2:
  - Return error in ovl_open directly. (Chengguang Xu)

Change since v1:
  - Return error to user rather than fall back to buffered io. (Chengguang Xu)
