Subject: [PATCH v2] src/vfs: skip whiteout-device fixtures on overlayfs
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 11:28:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017092841.2364286-1-amir73il@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
The idmapped mount tests create a whiteout device,
mknod(S_IFCHR, makedev(0, 0)), as a fixture: a whiteout device is the
only character device an unprivileged caller may create, since it is
exempt from the CAP_MKNOD check. overlayfs reserves a 0:0 character
device as its on-disk whiteout marker, so ovl_mknod() returns -EPERM
and the fixture cannot be created, failing generic/633, generic/696 and
generic/697 on overlayfs.
Add a whiteout_device_supported() helper and skip the whiteout-device
fixtures and the checks that depend on them on overlayfs. The
makedev(5, 1) "creation must fail" probes are unaffected and keep
running. No-op on every other filesystem.

Changes since v1 [1]:
- Patch "probe O_TMPFILE support..." already merged
- Repalce is_overlayfs() probe with whiteout_device_supported()
