Miklos, My trigger for fixing up the non-samefs patches is that I found out while testing NFS export that reconnecting a dir dentry doesn't work for non-samefs case. I tracked the problem down to the default implementation of get_name() in expfs.c that looks up a child inode in parent dir by d_ino. First, I rebased NFS export patches onto Chandan's patches and tested, but that still didn't fix the problem. I found and fixed more cases that we need to include in impure dir cache (see 2 last patches) and now my dir file handle unit tests [2] pass. Changes since v5: - Justification for moving ovl_entry.h into overlayfs.h - Split allocate anonymous devs patch to 3 patches - Explain why we need to return pseudo st_dev for lower - Fix d_ino of subdirs in non-samefs setup Besides the NFS export unit tests, 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 [3]. I asked Chandan to post fixes to his xfstests to cover the impure cases I fixes. Please verify that I didn't mess up authorship when posting Chandan's patches as I did with zhangyi's patch yesterday. On my branch [1], all the commits have correct authorship now. Thanks, Amir.
