Amir pointed me to metacopy test cases in unionmount-testsuite and I decided to run "./run --ov=10 --meta" and it failed while running test "rename-mass-5.py". Problem is w.r.t absolute redirect traversal on intermediate metacopy dentry. We do not store intermediate metacopy dentries and also skip current loop/layer and move onto lookup in next layer. But at the end of loop, we have logic to reset "poe" and layer index if currnently looked up dentry has absolute redirect. We skip all that and that means lookup in next layer will fail. Following is simple test case to reproduce this. - mkdir -p lower upper work merged lower/a lower/b - touch lower/a/foo.txt - mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work,metacopy=on none merged # Following will create absolute redirect "/a/foo.txt" on upper/b/bar.txt. - mv merged/a/foo.txt merged/b/bar.txt # unmount overlay and use upper as lower layer (lower2) for next mount. - umount merged - mv upper lower2 - rm -rf work; mkdir -p upper work - mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower2:lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work,metacopy=on none merged # Force a metacopy copy-up - chown bin:bin merged/b/bar.txt # unmount overlay and use upper as lower layer (lower3) for next mount. - umount merged - mv upper lower3 - rm -rf work; mkdir -p upper work - mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower3:lower2:lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work,metacopy=on none merged # ls merged/b/bar.txt ls: cannot access 'bar.txt': Input/output error Intermediate lower layer (lower2) has metacopy dentry b/bar.txt with absolute redirect "/a/foo.txt". We skipped redirect processing at the end of loop which sets poe to roe and sets the appropriate next lower layer index. And that means lookup failed in next layer. Fix this by continuing the loop for any intermediate dentries. We still do not save these at lower stack. With this fix applied unionmount-testsuite, "./run --ov-10 --meta" now passes.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
