      aufs: possible bugfix, uncached acl · a8614c2e
      J. R. Okajima authored
      
      
      When a branch filesystem doesn't cache ACL, aufs should not cache
      either.  Until now aufs has never met such fs, but theoretically it
      could happen.  Actually, in linux-v5.1-rc1, NFSv3 changed its behaviour
      by the commit
      	ded52fbe7020 2019-02-20 nfs: fix xfstest generic/099 failed on nfsv3
      The commit ded52fbe7020 doesn't "forget" the previous acl though.
      Doesn't it mean that the obsoleted acl is kept until NFS's attribute
      cache is expired?  I don't know.  I've asked it on LKML, but got no
      answer.

      aufs: possible bugfix, ignore the being freed sbinfo object · 01a1817a
      J. R. Okajima authored
      
      
      The scenario is very similar to previous commit
      "aufs: bugfix, ignore the being freed dynop object".
      One exception is that this commit is for sbinfo object which is managed
      by kobject (instead of kref).
      
      In order to enter the plink-maintenance mode, users write an ID to
      "/proc/fs/aufs/plink_maint" (this path is defined as macros in
      include/uapi/linux/aufs_type.h).  If someone else is unmounting the
      aufs mount corresponding that ID, then the searcher task may find a
      being freed sbinfo object.
      The problem and the fix is very similar to previous commit
      "aufs: bugfix, ignore the being freed dynop object".

      aufs: bugfix, ignore the being freed dynop object · e870e818
      J. R. Okajima authored
      
      
      Aufs DYNOP (Dynamically customizable FS operations) object is managed by
      kref, and when its counter reaches zero, the callback function removes
      the object from the internal list which is protected by a spinlock and
      then frees the object.
      Here there is a small time window between
      A: the counter reaches zero, and
      B: require the lock to remove the object from the list.
      If someone else acquires the lock and searches the list, it may find the
      counter-zero'ed object which means the object is being freed.
      This commit ignores the object whose counter is already zero.

      aufs: fuse branch (including poll(2)) · 08ecca6f
      J. R. Okajima authored
      
      
      Fuse doesn't want the callers to access the inode attributes without
      issuing stat, and it is not assured that they are valid after lookup or
      iget().
      The inode attribute is critical for aufs, and aufs decided to call stat
      every time for fuse.
      Of course, it makes aufs slow. But when the branch fs is not fuse, stat
      is not called.
      
      Currently, only FUSE implements ->poll(), and aufs supports it.

      Basically ramfs is limited for its size, and is not suitable for aufs RW

      This configuration is for those who knows what he is doing.

      aufs: hfsplus branch · 5bb71622
      J. R. Okajima authored
      
      
      Special support for filesystems which acquires an inode mutex at final
      closing a file, eg, hfsplus.
      This trick is very simple and stupid, just to open the file before really
      necessary open to tell hfsplus that this is not the final closing.
      The caller should call au_h_open_pre() after acquiring the inode mutex,
      and au_h_open_post() after releasing it.

      Still I am not sure how this feature breaches the security. Some people
      say it doesn't matter. But I don't know.
      Anyway upon the request from the users, aufs implements it as a module
      option.

      aufs: loopback-mounted branch · 9512a2c3
      J. R. Okajima authored
      
      
      It is ok that the branch is loopback-mounted.
      But it had a problem if the backend fs-image is placed on another
      branch, and aufs had prohibited such nested branch for a long time due
      to the recursive lookup by 'loopN' daemon.
      I don't remember when it was, but the daemon stopped such recursive
      behaviour, but aufs is still prohibitting the nested branch via
      loopback-mount.
      Upon the request from users, aufs will allow the loopback-mounted branch
      on another branch by another patch (aufs4-loopback.patch in
      aufs4-standalone.git).

      aufs: fhsm (file-based hierarchical storage management) · 3be35a97
      J. R. Okajima authored
      
      
      This feature automatically handles MVDOWN in other commits.
      In user-space, a daemon monitors the free space of the branch and issues
      MVDOWN ioctl automatically when necessary. The main role is in
      user-space and several options are implemented.
      For a branch to join the FHSM circle, a new attribute 'fhsm' should be
      specified.

      Another ioctl feature, move-down.
      The behaviour is, as you can guess, the opposite of copy-up.
      The feature called FHSM (file-based hierarchical storage management, in
      later commit) uses this ioctl aggressively.

      Because of some inode is in use, the deletion of a branch can fail.
      For those who wants to test the inode is busy or not, aufs provides an
      ioctl, and a utility 'aubusy' in aufs-util.git.

      aufs: ioctl, rdu (readdir in userspace) · 681a21c3
      J. R. Okajima authored
      
      
      For a directory which has millions of files, aufs VDIR consumes
      much memory. In this case, RDU (readdir(3) in user-space) is definitely
      better.
      If you enable CONFIG_AUFS_RDU at compiling aufs, install libau.so from
      aufs-util.git, and set some environment variables, then you can use this
      feature. When readdir(3) in libau.so receives an aufs dir, it issues
      ioctl(2) instead of regular readdir(3).
      All merging and whiteout handling are done in userspace.
