Eryu,
The modified 3 tests were introduced to track a non-standard
behavior of overlayfs w.r.t. inode numbers with nonsamefs
configuration.
This behavior cannot be fixed with all underlying filesystems
unless user opts-in for the xino feature.
xino feature was introduced in kernel v4.17-rc1. This patch
set converts the tests to notrun instead of failing on old kernels
and opts-in for xino with new kernels.
FYI, Miklos has a patch set in review to fix the last of the
non-standard behavior tracking test that is still failing (overlay/016).
After that patch set is merged, all overlay tests will be expected to
pass on master - new era ;-)
Thanks,
Amir.
