Amir Goldstein 695b46e76b ovl: set i_ino to the value of st_ino for NFS export
Eddie Horng reported that readdir of an overlayfs directory that
was exported via NFSv3 returns entries with d_type set to DT_UNKNOWN.
The reason is that while preparing the response for readdirplus, nfsd
checks inside encode_entryplus_baggage() that a child dentry's inode
number matches the value of d_ino returns by overlayfs readdir iterator.

Because the overlayfs inodes use arbitrary inode numbers that are not
correlated with the values of st_ino/d_ino, NFSv3 falls back to not
encoding d_type. Although this is an allowed behavior, we can fix it for
the case of all overlayfs layers on the same underlying filesystem.

When NFS export is enabled and d_ino is consistent with st_ino
(samefs), set the same value also to i_ino in ovl_fill_inode() for all
overlayfs inodes, nfsd readdirplus sanity checks will pass.
ovl_fill_inode() may be called from ovl_new_inode(), before real inode
was created with ino arg 0. In that case, i_ino will be updated to real
upper inode i_ino on ovl_inode_init() or ovl_inode_update().

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.
