[PATCH 21/38] union-mount: Support for mounting union mount file systems

[Valerie Aurora]

Create and tear down union mount structures on mount.  Check
requirements for union mounts.  This version clones the read-only
mounts and puts them in an array hanging off the superblock of the
topmost layer.

XXX - need array? maybe use mnt_child or mnt_hash instead

Thanks to Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx> for a bug fix.

+ * check_mnt_union - mount-time checks for union mount
+ *
+ * @mntpnt: path of the mountpoint the new mount will be on
+ * @topmost_mnt: vfsmount of the new file system to be mounted
+ * @mnt_flags: mount flags for the new file system
+ *
+ * Mount-time check of upper and lower layer file systems to see if we
+ * can union mount one on the other.
+ *
+ * The rules:
+ *
+ * Lower layer(s) read-only: We can't deal with namespace changes in
+ * the lower layers of a union, so the lower layer must be read-only.
+ * Note that we could possibly convert a read-write unioned mount into
+ * a read-only mount here, which would give us a way to union more
+ * than one layer with separate mount commands.
+ *
+ * Union only at roots of file systems: Only permit unioning of file
+ * systems at their root directories.  This allows us to mark entire
+ * mounts as unioned.  Otherwise we must slowly and expensively work
+ * our way up a path looking for a unioned directory before we know if
+ * a path is from a unioned lower layer.
+ *
+ * No submounts.  We could potentially mount over several read-only
+ * submounts, it's just more code to write.
+ *
+ * Topmost layer must be writable to support our readdir()
+ * solution of copying up all lower level entries to the
+ * topmost layer.
+ *
+ * Topmost file system must support whiteouts and fallthrus.
+ *
+ * Topmost file system can't be mounted elsewhere. XXX implement some
+ * kind of marker in the superblock so subsequent mounts are not
+ * possible.
+ *
+ * Note on union mounts and mount event propagation: The lower
+ * layer(s) of a union mount must not have any changes to its
+ * namespace.  Therefore, it must not be part of any mount event
+ * propagation group - i.e., shared or slave.  MNT_SHARED and
+ * MNT_SLAVE are not set at mount, but in do_change_type(), which
+ * prevents setting these flags on file systems with read-only users,
+ * which includes the lower layer(s) of a union mount.
