Good fix.
That warning was a late addition to V3 after allowing nfs_export without
index for on-upper r/o mount.

Good question... (adding Eryu in CC)
I know Eryu tested with default kernel configuration, because one
of my tests found a bug with NFS export and redirect_dir=off.
(I fixed the specific test to require redirect_dir)
I have posted xfstests for overlay NFS export support with samefs
and non-samefs configuration and for non-samefs, there are two
lower layers not on the same fs. I also have posted a test for non-upper
overlay with two lower layers on samefs and non-samefs.
One of the overlay xfstests explicitly turns off index with index=off,
(overlay/036), so we have coverage for falling back to nfs_export=off
when NFS export is enabled by default (as it usually is in my setup).
There is an overlay xfstest with multiple lower layers and no-upper
and that test shows the warning about falling back to nfs_export=off
due to redirect_dir=nofollow requirement (with default kernel configuration).
I did not specifically test underlying fs with no xattr support and no
file handle support, though the latter was already tested for index
with squashfs (no uuid) and the nfs_export=off code is piggy backed
in the same place as index=off.
Thanks,
Amir.
