For non-samefs setup, to make sure that st_dev/st_ino pair is unique
across the system, we return a unique anonymous st_dev for stat(2)
of lower layer inode.
A following patch is going to fix constant st_dev/st_ino across copy up
by returning origin st_dev/st_ino for copied up objects.
If the st_dev/st_ino for copied up object would have been the same as
that of the real underlying lower file, running diff on underlying lower
file and overlay copied up file would result in diff reporting that the
2 files are equal when in fact, they may have different content.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
