Hi, Using v4.0 I used to put two 9p or two ext4 filesystems in overlay. Now with v4.7-rc5 I can still put two ext4 filesystems in overlay but not two 9p filesystems anymore. In the later I obtain the following error executing a simple "cat overlay/test.txt". Bisecting results in the first offending commit 4bacc9c9234c7c8eec44f5ed4e960d9f96fa0f01 which though contains only changes only to fs/overlay/* and fs/*.{c,h} Thank you very much for any help you can/want provide me!
