In a very narrow sense the answers are 1. ovl_getattr() 2. ovl_iterate() and ovl_lookup() This is the most up to date documentation: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.rst For anything beyond that, you'll need to read the code: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/fs/overlayfs Thanks, Amir.
