An overlay-filesystem tries to present a +filesystem which is the result over overlaying one filesystem on top +of the other. + +The result will inevitably fail to look exactly like a normal +filesystem for various technical reasons. The expectation is that +many use cases will be able to ignore these differences. + +This approach is 'hybrid' because the objects that appear in the +filesystem do not all appear to belong to that filesystem. In many +cases an object accessed in the union will be indistinguishable +from accessing the corresponding object from the original filesystem. +This is most obvious from the 'st_dev' field returned by stat(2). + +While directories will report an st_dev from the overlay-filesystem, +all non-directory objects will report an st_dev from the lower or +upper filesystem that is providing the object. Similarly st_ino will +only be unique when combined with st_dev, and both of these can change +over the lifetime of a non-directory object. Many applications and +tools ignore these values and will not be affected. + +Upper and Lower +--------------- + +An overlay filesystem combines two filesystems - an 'upper' filesystem +and a 'lower' filesystem. When a name exists in both filesystems, the +object in the 'upper' filesystem is visible while the object in the +'lower' filesystem is either hidden or, in the case of directories, +merged with the 'upper' object. + +It would be more correct to refer to an upper and lower 'directory +tree' rather than 'filesystem' as it is quite possible for both +directory trees to be in the same filesystem and there is no +requirement that the root of a filesystem be given for either upper or +lower. + +The lower filesystem can be any filesystem supported by Linux and does +not need to be writable. The lower filesystem can even be another +overlayfs. The upper filesystem will normally be writable and if it +is it must support the creation of trusted.* extended attributes, and +must provide valid d_type in readdir responses, so NFS is not suitable. + +A read-only overlay of two read-only filesystems may use any +filesystem type. + +Directories +----------- + +Overlaying mainly involves directories. If a given name appears in both +upper and lower filesystems and refers to a non-directory in either, +then the lower object is hidden - the name refers only to the upper +object. + +Where both upper and lower objects are directories, a merged directory +is formed. + +At mount time, the two directories given as mount options "lowerdir" and +"upperdir" are combined into a merged directory: + + mount -t overlayfs overlayfs -olowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper,\ +workdir=/work /merged + +The "workdir" needs to be an empty directory on the same filesystem +as upperdir. + +Then whenever a lookup is requested in such a merged directory, the +lookup is performed in each actual directory and the combined result +is cached in the dentry belonging to the overlay filesystem. If both +actual lookups find directories, both are stored and a merged +directory is created, otherwise only one is stored: the upper if it +exists, else the lower. + +Only the lists of names from directories are merged. Other content +such as metadata and extended attributes are reported for the upper +directory only. These attributes of the lower directory are hidden. + +whiteouts and opaque directories +-------------------------------- + +In order to support rm and rmdir without changing the lower +filesystem, an overlay filesystem needs to record in the upper filesystem +that files have been removed. This is done using whiteouts and opaque +directories (non-directories are always opaque). + +A whiteout is created as a character device with 0/0 device number. +When a whiteout is found in the upper level of a merged directory, any +matching name in the lower level is ignored, and the whiteout itself +is also hidden. + +A directory is made opaque by setting the xattr "trusted.overlay.opaque" +to "y". Where the upper filesystem contains an opaque directory, any +directory in the lower filesystem with the same name is ignored. + +readdir +------- + +When a 'readdir' request is made on a merged directory, the upper and +lower directories are each read and the name lists merged in the +obvious way (upper is read first, then lower - entries that already +exist are not re-added). This merged name list is cached in the +'struct file' and so remains as long as the file is kept open. If the +directory is opened and read by two processes at the same time, they +will each have separate caches. A seekdir to the start of the +directory (offset 0) followed by a readdir will cause the cache to be +discarded and rebuilt. + +This means that changes to the merged directory do not appear while a +directory is being read. This is unlikely to be noticed by many +programs. + +seek offsets are assigned sequentially when the directories are read. +Thus if + - read part of a directory + - remember an offset, and close the directory + - re-open the directory some time later + - seek to the remembered offset + +there may be little correlation between the old and new locations in +the list of filenames, particularly if anything has changed in the +directory. + +Readdir on directories that are not merged is simply handled by the +underlying directory (upper or lower). + + +Non-directories +--------------- + +Objects that are not directories (files, symlinks, device-special +files etc.) are presented either from the upper or lower filesystem as +appropriate. When a file in the lower filesystem is accessed in a way +the requires write-access, such as opening for write access, changing +some metadata etc., the file is first copied from the lower filesystem +to the upper filesystem (copy_up). Note that creating a hard-link +also requires copy_up, though of course creation of a symlink does +not. + +The copy_up may turn out to be unnecessary, for example if the file is +opened for read-write but the data is not modified. + +The copy_up process first makes sure that the containing directory +exists in the upper filesystem - creating it and any parents as +necessary. It then creates the object with the same metadata (owner, +mode, mtime, symlink-target etc.) and then if the object is a file, the +data is copied from the lower to the upper filesystem. Finally any +extended attributes are copied up. + +Once the copy_up is complete, the overlay filesystem simply +provides direct access to the newly created file in the upper +filesystem - future operations on the file are barely noticed by the +overlay filesystem (though an operation on the name of the file such as +rename or unlink will of course be noticed and handled). + + +Non-standard behavior +--------------------- + +The copy_up operation essentially creates a new, identical file and +moves it over to the old name. The new file may be on a different +filesystem, so both st_dev and st_ino of the file may change. + +Any open files referring to this inode will access the old data and +metadata. Similarly any file locks obtained before copy_up will not +apply to the copied up file. + +On a file opened with O_RDONLY fchmod(2), fchown(2), futimesat(2) and +fsetxattr(2) will fail with EROFS. + +If a file with multiple hard links is copied up, then this will +"break" the link. Changes will not be propagated to other names +referring to the same inode. + +Symlinks in /proc/PID/ and /proc/PID/fd which point to a non-directory +object in overlayfs will not contain valid absolute paths, only +relative paths leading up to the filesystem's root. This will be +fixed in the future. + +Some operations are not atomic, for example a crash during copy_up or +rename will leave the filesystem in an inconsistent state. This will +be addressed in the future. + +Changes to underlying filesystems +--------------------------------- + +Offline changes, when the overlay is not mounted, are allowed to either +the upper or the lower trees. + +Changes to the underlying filesystems while part of a mounted overlay +filesystem are not allowed.

TCMU (TCM in Userspace) +allows userspace programs to be written which act as iSCSI targets. +This document describes the design. + +The existing kernel provides modules for different SCSI transport +protocols. TCM also modularizes the data storage. There are existing +modules for file, block device, RAM or using another SCSI device as +storage. These are called "backstores" or "storage engines". These +built-in modules are implemented entirely as kernel code. + +Background: + +In addition to modularizing the transport protocol used for carrying +SCSI commands ("fabrics"), the Linux kernel target, LIO, also modularizes +the actual data storage as well. These are referred to as "backstores" +or "storage engines". The target comes with backstores that allow a +file, a block device, RAM, or another SCSI device to be used for the +local storage needed for the exported SCSI LUN. Like the rest of LIO, +these are implemented entirely as kernel code. + +These backstores cover the most common use cases, but not all. One new +use case that other non-kernel target solutions, such as tgt, are able +to support is using Gluster's GLFS or Ceph's RBD as a backstore. The +target then serves as a translator, allowing initiators to store data +in these non-traditional networked storage systems, while still only +using standard protocols themselves. + +If the target is a userspace process, supporting these is easy. tgt, +for example, needs only a small adapter module for each, because the +modules just use the available userspace libraries for RBD and GLFS. + +Adding support for these backstores in LIO is considerably more +difficult, because LIO is entirely kernel code. Instead of undertaking +the significant work to port the GLFS or RBD APIs and protocols to the +kernel, another approach is to create a userspace pass-through +backstore for LIO, "TCMU". + + +Benefits: + +In addition to allowing relatively easy support for RBD and GLFS, TCMU +will also allow easier development of new backstores. TCMU combines +with the LIO loopback fabric to become something similar to FUSE +(Filesystem in Userspace), but at the SCSI layer instead of the +filesystem layer. A SUSE, if you will. + +The disadvantage is there are more distinct components to configure, and +potentially to malfunction. This is unavoidable, but hopefully not +fatal if we're careful to keep things as simple as possible. + +Design constraints: + +- Good performance: high throughput, low latency +- Cleanly handle if userspace: + 1) never attaches + 2) hangs + 3) dies + 4) misbehaves +- Allow future flexibility in user & kernel implementations +- Be reasonably memory-efficient +- Simple to configure & run +- Simple to write a userspace backend + + +Implementation overview: + +The core of the TCMU interface is a memory region that is shared +between kernel and userspace. Within this region is: a control area +(mailbox); a lockless producer/consumer circular buffer for commands +to be passed up, and status returned; and an in/out data buffer area. + +TCMU uses the pre-existing UIO subsystem. UIO allows device driver +development in userspace, and this is conceptually very close to the +TCMU use case, except instead of a physical device, TCMU implements a +memory-mapped layout designed for SCSI commands. Using UIO also +benefits TCMU by handling device introspection (e.g. a way for +userspace to determine how large the shared region is) and signaling +mechanisms in both directions. + +There are no embedded pointers in the memory region. Everything is +expressed as an offset from the region's starting address. This allows +the ring to still work if the user process dies and is restarted with +the region mapped at a different virtual address. + +See target_core_user.h for the struct definitions. + +The Mailbox: + +The mailbox is always at the start of the shared memory region, and +contains a version, details about the starting offset and size of the +command ring, and head and tail pointers to be used by the kernel and +userspace (respectively) to put commands on the ring, and indicate +when the commands are completed. + +version - 1 (userspace should abort if otherwise) +flags - none yet defined. +cmdr_off - The offset of the start of the command ring from the start +of the memory region, to account for the mailbox size. +cmdr_size - The size of the command ring. This does *not* need to be a +power of two. +cmd_head - Modified by the kernel to indicate when a command has been +placed on the ring. +cmd_tail - Modified by userspace to indicate when it has completed +processing of a command. + +The Command Ring: + +Commands are placed on the ring by the kernel incrementing +mailbox.cmd_head by the size of the command, modulo cmdr_size, and +then signaling userspace via uio_event_notify(). Once the command is +completed, userspace updates mailbox.cmd_tail in the same way and +signals the kernel via a 4-byte write(). When cmd_head equals +cmd_tail, the ring is empty -- no commands are currently waiting to be +processed by userspace. + +TCMU commands start with a common header containing "len_op", a 32-bit +value that stores the length, as well as the opcode in the lowest +unused bits. Currently only two opcodes are defined, TCMU_OP_PAD and +TCMU_OP_CMD. When userspace encounters a command with PAD opcode, it +should skip ahead by the bytes in "length". (The kernel inserts PAD +entries to ensure each CMD entry fits contigously into the circular +buffer.) + +When userspace handles a CMD, it finds the SCSI CDB (Command Data +Block) via tcmu_cmd_entry.req.cdb_off. This is an offset from the +start of the overall shared memory region, not the entry. The data +in/out buffers are accessible via tht req.iov[] array. Note that +each iov.iov_base is also an offset from the start of the region. + +TCMU currently does not support BIDI operations. + +When completing a command, userspace sets rsp.scsi_status, and +rsp.sense_buffer if necessary. Userspace then increments +mailbox.cmd_tail by entry.hdr.length (mod cmdr_size) and signals the +kernel via the UIO method, a 4-byte write to the file descriptor. + +The Data Area: + +This is shared-memory space after the command ring. The organization +of this area is not defined in the TCMU interface, and userspace +should access only the parts referenced by pending iovs. + + +Device Discovery: + +Other devices may be using UIO besides TCMU. Unrelated user processes +may also be handling different sets of TCMU devices. TCMU userspace +processes must find their devices by scanning sysfs +class/uio/uio*/name. For TCMU devices, these names will be of the +format: + +tcm-user/<hba_num>/<device_name>/<subtype>/<path> + +where "tcm-user" is common for all TCMU-backed UIO devices. <hba_num> +and <device_name> allow userspace to find the device's path in the +kernel target's configfs tree. Assuming the usual mount point, it is +found at: + +/sys/kernel/config/target/core/user_<hba_num>/<device_name> + +This location contains attributes such as "hw_block_size", that +userspace needs to know for correct operation. + +<subtype> will be a userspace-process-unique string to identify the +TCMU device as expecting to be backed by a certain handler, and <path> +will be an additional handler-specific string for the user process to +configure the device, if needed. The name cannot contain ':', due to +LIO limitations. + +For all devices so discovered, the user handler opens /dev/uioX and +calls mmap(): + +mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0) + +where size must be equal to the value read from +/sys/class/uio/uioX/maps/map0/size. + + +Device Events: + +If a new device is added or removed, a notification will be broadcast +over netlink, using a generic netlink family name of "TCM-USER" and a +multicast group named "config". This will include the UIO name as +described in the previous section, as well as the UIO minor +number. This should allow userspace to identify both the UIO device and +the LIO device, so that after determining the device is supported +(based on subtype) it can take the appropriate action. + + +Other contingencies: + +Userspace handler process never attaches: + +- TCMU will post commands, and then abort them after a timeout period + (30 seconds.) + +Userspace handler process is killed: + +- It is still possible to restart and re-connect to TCMU + devices.
