Soon, we will be creating OVL_TYPE_ORIGIN entries even for hardlinked files with index=off. That means, it is possible that there is no index and hence no OVL_XATTR_NLINK set on upperdentry but lowerdentry is still there. In that case current implementation gets -ENODATA from vfs_getxattr)() and it warns and returns fallback. I can get following warning. "overlayfs: failed to get index nlink ....." Pass in index instead of upperdentry in ovl_get_nlink(). That way, if index is not there, we know that OVL_XATTR_NLINK should not be present and just return fallback.
