Miklos, I rebased and pushed a new version of Chandan's patches to my overlayfs devel branch [1]. I am posting this for review here as v5, although I lost count on the real revision number. Beyond rebase, cleanup and checkpatch warning fixes I made the following cosmetic modifications since previous version: 1. s/struct ovl_lower_mnt/struct ovl_layer 2. s/struct ovl_lower/struct ovl_path 3. s/ofs->lower_mnt/ofs->lower_layers 4. ovl_find_layer() mini helper for ovl_lookup() 5. split cleanup patch of include ovl_entry.h The cosmetic changes make the struct member variables names .layer and .lower_layers consistent with their type (struct ovl_layer). The type name struct ovl_path fits better IMO to the argument list of ovl_check_origin() which will later be used to check "upper origin" as well (index=all patches). I tested these patches with upstream xfstest overlay/041 by Chandan and with unionmount test './run --ov --verify' that is avialble on my unionmount devel branch [2]. My overlayfs devel branch [1] contains also the patches by Zhangyi for not exposing whiteouts when lower dir is gone missing. I tested these changes with upstream xfstest overlay/031 by Zhangyi. Please consider the patches from my devel branch [1] for v4.15. Thanks, Amir.
