[PATCH 31/41] fallthru: Support for fallthru entries in union mount lookup

From: Valerie Aurora
Date: Wed Oct 21 2009 - 15:23:35 EST


A fallthru directory entry overrides the opaque flag for its parent
directory (for this directory entry only). Before, we stopped
building the union stack when we encountered an opaque directory; now
we include directories below opaque directories in the union stack and
check for opacity during lookup.

+/*
+ * Theory of operation for opaque, whiteout, and fallthru:
+ *
+ * whiteout: Unconditionally stop lookup here - ENOENT
+ *
+ * opaque: Don't lookup in directories lower in the union stack
+ *
+ * fallthru: While looking up an entry, ignore the opaque flag for the
+ * current directory only.
+ *
+ * A union stack is a linked list of directory dentries which appear
+ * in the same place in the namespace. When constructing the union
+ * stack, we include directories below opaque directories so that we
+ * can properly handle fallthrus. All non-fallthru lookups have to
+ * check for the opaque flag on the parent directory and obey it.
+ *
+ * In general, the code pattern is to lookup the the topmost entry
+ * first (either the first visible non-negative dentry or a negative
+ * dentry in the topmost layer of the union), then build the union
+ * stack for the newly looked-up entry (if it is a directory).
