commit91ff20f34eupstream. Theodore Ts'o reported a v4.19 regression with docker-dropbox: https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=154070089431116&w=2 "I was rebuilding my dropbox Docker container, and it failed in 4.19 with the following error: ... dpkg: error: error creating new backup file \ '/var/lib/dpkg/status-old': Invalid cross-device link" The problem did not reproduce with metacopy feature disabled. The error was caused by insufficient credentials to set "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr on link of a metacopy file. Reproducer: echo Y > /sys/module/overlay/parameters/redirect_dir echo Y > /sys/module/overlay/parameters/metacopy cd /tmp mkdir l u w m chmod 777 l u touch l/foo ln l/foo l/link chmod 666 l/foo mount -t overlay none -olowerdir=l,upperdir=u,workdir=w m su fsgqa ln m/foo m/bar [ 21.455823] overlayfs: failed to set redirect (-1) ln: failed to create hard link 'm/bar' => 'm/foo':\ Invalid cross-device link Reported-by: Theodore Y.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
