Amir Goldstein f3a1568582 ovl: mark upper merge dir with type origin entries "impure"
An upper dir is marked "impure" to let ovl_iterate() know that this
directory may contain non pure upper entries whose d_ino may need to be
read from the origin inode.

We already mark a non-merge dir "impure" when moving a non-pure child
entry inside it, to let ovl_iterate() know not to iterate the non-merge
dir directly.

Mark also a merge dir "impure" when moving a non-pure child entry inside
it and when copying up a child entry inside it.

This can be used to optimize ovl_iterate() to perform a "pure merge" of
upper and lower directories, merging the content of the directories,
without having to read d_ino from origin inodes.

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.
