Chandan,

Can you rebase your work on v4.14-rc1?

You now need to add another patch to relax same fs constrain for
constant d_ino in readdir.
Note that you will also need to relax in ovl_cache_update_ino()
WARN_ON_ONCE(dir->d_sb->s_dev != stat.dev)

unionmount-testsuite's --verify (non-samefs) does not verify d_ino and
the your constant d_ino xfstest does not cover the non-samefs case.
A new xfstest, a simple variant of your samefs xfstest should be sufficient.

Cheers,
Amir.
