Overlayfs doesn't mount filesystems.  I think you might mean something like
reject case-insensitive lowerdirs?

sb_has_encoding() doesn't mean that the filesystem is case-insensitive.  It
means that the filesystem supports individual case-insensitive directories.

With that in mind, is this code still working as intended?

If so, can you update the comment and error message accordingly?
