OK. my point was that you need to allocate an sb max depth stack in advance,
in case you need to jump to a wider stack.

I just sent 2 patches to fix 2 overlayfs xfstests failures.
With these 2 changes, the entire quick test group passes on my setup
(short of one test that also fails on ext4 and xfs).
Now I will start to think about instrumenting generic xfstests with lower/upper
files and then with rotating upper (i.e. layer stack).
