As it happens, it is very easy to find a bug, because it is enough to just umount an mount the overlay without even adding a new layer after directory rename to corrupt the overlayfs lookup. Almost every rename-*-dir test demonstrates the problem Going forward, I intend to hook the remount(ctx) event in a cleaner way, so for every VFS op in every subtest, it is possible to configure a test where the operation happens: - without any remount - with umount + mount - with umount + mount with a new layer Cheers, Amir. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-unionfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
