commit 6c4a5f96450415735c31ed70ff354f0ee5cbf67b upstream.
Some overlayfs features require permission to read/write trusted.*
xattrs. These include redirect_dir, verity, metacopy, and data-only
layers. This patch adds additional validations at mount time to stop
overlays from mounting in certain cases where the resulting mount would
not function according to the user's expectations because they lack
permission to access trusted.* xattrs (for example, not global root.)
Similar checks in ovl_make_workdir() that disable features instead of
failing are still relevant and used in cases where the resulting mount
can still work "reasonably well." Generally, if the feature was enabled
through kernel config or module option, any mount that worked before
will still work the same; this applies to redirect_dir and metacopy. The
user must explicitly request these features in order to generate a mount
failure. Verity and data-only layers on the other hand must be explictly
requested and have no "reasonable" disabled or degraded alternative, so
mounts attempting either always fail.
"lower data-only dirs require metacopy support" moved down in case
userxattr is set, which disables metacopy.
