This sequence of commands produces both errors: mount -t tmpfs lower_layer /lower mount -t tmpfs upper_layer /upper mkdir /upper/upper mkdir /upper/work mount -t overlayfs overlayfs /mnt -olowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper/upper,workdir=/upper/work # The lockdep error was reported in the above mount command umount /mnt umount /upper # The dentry leak error was reported in the last umount command where /lower, /upper and /mnt are preexisting directories. Note that prior to this, mounting and unmounting a tmpfs filesystem worked with no errors.
