Hi Amir, I am wondering if this is a bug or it is supposed to be like this. I felt it is a bug, so I generated a patch and sending it for your review. Vivek Right now we seem to be passing index as "lowerdentry" and origin.dentry as "upperdentry". IIUC, we should pass these parameters in reversed order and this looks like a bug.
