Overlay directory inodes report overlay bdev and overlay ino to stat(2). Overlay regular file inodes report real bdev and real ino to stat(2). This results in wrong results from command du -x on an overlay mount, because the regular files are not accounted for the overlay bdev usage. The reasons for this inconsistecy is: 1. The overlay ino is not persistent, so real ino is used 2. The tupple overlay bdev and real ino is not unique, so real bdev is used In case all overlay layers are on the same underlying fs, the tupple from reason 2 above is unique, so use this tupple for regular files and symlinks to produce the correct result from du -x.
