ovl: fix missing override creds in link of a metacopy upper
Theodore Ts'o reported a v4.19 regression with docker-dropbox: https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=154070089431116&w=2 "I was rebuilding my dropbox Docker container, and it failed in 4.19 with the following error: ... dpkg: error: error creating new backup file \ '/var/lib/dpkg/status-old': Invalid cross-device link" The problem did not reproduce with metacopy feature disabled. The error was caused by insufficient credentials to set "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr on link of a metacopy file. Reproducer: echo Y > /sys/module/overlay/parameters/redirect_dir echo Y > /sys/module/overlay/parameters/metacopy cd /tmp mkdir l u w m chmod 777 l u touch l/foo ln l/foo l/link chmod 666 l/foo mount -t overlay none -olowerdir=l,upperdir=u,workdir=w m su fsgqa ln m/foo m/bar [ 21.455823] overlayfs: failed to set redirect (-1) ln: failed to create hard link 'm/bar' => 'm/foo':\ Invalid cross-device link Reported-by: Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Reported-by: Maciej Zięba <maciekz82@gmail.com> Fixes: 4120fe64dce4 ("ovl: Set redirect on upper inode when it is linked") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v4.19 Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
