I can think of these cases: 1. overlayfs with fuse (virtiofs) upper 2. fuse passthrough over fuse 3. fuse passthrough over overlayfs 4. fuse passthrough over gfs2 or some out of tree fs The first two will not cause any harm, In case #3, according to the comment above ovl_splice_write() the current code could even deadlock. So do you have a reproduction?
