Pushed the patches to branch: https://github.com/amir73il/linux/commits/ovl-hardlinks-rocopyup It now passes all the xfstests hardlink copy up tests [1]. Note that you will need to use my unionmount-testsuite dev branch [2] to test with inodes index enabled. The one test that fails the constant inode verification on v4.12-rc1 (due to hardlink non constant ino) now passes: ./run --ov=1 --samefs rename-mass-5 Thanks, Amir.
