So it must be a change in the upper fs, which is tmpfs? Anyway, I don't have enough information and this seems unrelated to the test failure, so I'll drop it. > However, I do still get > Bail out!

Your reports starts by stating: "The primary problem is Bolt (Thunderbolt 3) tests that are experiencing a regression when run in a container using overlayfs," But you say that the problem exists with kernel 5.9. When you say "regression" above, what are you referring to? Did those tests pass in a previous Bolt version? Did those tests ever pass in a container using overlayfs? There is surely a bug in overlayfs, but it's hard to find it without minimal bisection info. I'll keep looking. If it's a regression with newer distro, please try to understand from distro/package managers, what has changed in the container setup and kernel config w.r.t a container using overlayfs. Thanks, Amir.
