commit9c6d8f13e9upstream. On non-samefs overlay without xino, non pure upper inodes should use a pseudo_dev assigned to each unique lower fs and pure upper inodes use the real upper st_dev. It is fine for an overlay pure upper inode to use the same st_dev;st_ino values as the real upper inode, because the content of those two different filesystem objects is always the same. In this case, however: - two filesystems, A and B - upper layer is on A - lower layer 1 is also on A - lower layer 2 is on B Non pure upper overlay inode, whose origin is in layer 1 will have the same st_dev;st_ino values as the real lower inode. This may result with a false positive results of 'diff' between the real lower and copied up overlay inode. Fix this by using the upper st_dev;st_ino values in this case. This breaks the property of constant st_dev;st_ino across copy up of this case. This breakage will be fixed by a later patch.

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.
