[PATCH v3 0/4] ovl: Add support for fs-verity checking of lowerdata

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

 



This patchset adds support for using fs-verity to validate lowerdata
files by specifying an overlay.verity xattr on the metacopy
files.

This is primarily motivated by the Composefs usecase, where there will
be a read-only EROFS layer that contains redirect into a base data
layer which has fs-verity enabled on all files. However, it is also
useful in general if you want to ensure that the lowerdata files
matches the expected content over time.

I have also added some tests for this feature to xfstests[1].

I'm also CC:ing the fsverity list and maintainers because there is one
(tiny) fsverity change, and there may be interest in this usecase.

Changes since v2:
 * Rebased on top of overlayfs-next
 * We now alway do verity verification the first time the file content
   is used, rather than doing it at lookup time for the non-lazy lookup
   case.

Changes since v1:
 * Rebased on v2 lazy lowerdata series
 * Dropped the "validate" mount option variant. We now only support
   "off", "on" and "require", where "off" is the default.
 * We now store the digest algorithm used in the overlay.verity xattr.
 * Dropped ability to configure default verity options, as this could
   cause problems moving layers between machines.
 * We now properly resolve dependent mount options by automatically
   enabling metacopy and redirect_dir if verity is on, or failing
   if the specified options conflict.
 * Streamlined and fixed the handling of creds in ovl_ensure_verity_loaded().
 * Renamed new helpers from ovl_entry_path_ to ovl_e_path_
