Fix up two bugs in the coversion to xino_mode:
1. xino=off does not always end up in disabled mode
2. xino=auto on 32bit arch should end up in disabled mode
Take a proactive approach to disabling xino on 32bit kernel:
1. Disable XINO_AUTO config during build time
2. Disable xino with a warning on mount time
As a by product, xino=on on 32bit arch also ends up in disabled mode.
We never intended to enable xino on 32bit arch and this will make the
rest of the logic simpler.

help
|

An overlay filesystem combines two filesystems - an 'upper' filesystem
|
|
and a 'lower' filesystem. When a name exists in both filesystems, the
|
|
object in the 'upper' filesystem is visible while the object in the
|
|
'lower' filesystem is either hidden or, in the case of directories,
|
|
merged with the 'upper' object.

If this config option is enabled then overlay filesystems will use

redirects when renaming directories by default. In this case it is

"redirect_dir=off" module option or on a filesystem instance basis
|

with the "redirect_dir=off" mount option.

Note, that redirects are not backward compatible. That is, mounting

an overlay which has redirects on a kernel that doesn't support this

If unsure, say N.

If this config option is enabled then overlay filesystems will use
|
|
the index directory to decode overlay NFS file handles by default.
|
|
In this case, it is still possible to turn off NFS export support
|
|
globally with the "nfs_export=off" module option or on a filesystem
|
|
instance basis with the "nfs_export=off" mount option.
|
|
|
|
The NFS export feature creates an index on copy up of every file and
|
|
directory. This full index is used to detect overlay filesystems
|
|
inconsistencies on lookup, like redirect from multiple upper dirs to
|
|
the same lower dir. The full index may incur some overhead on mount
|
|
time, especially when verifying that directory file handles are not
|
|
stale.
|
|
|
|
Note, that the NFS export feature is not backward compatible.
|
|
That is, mounting an overlay which has a full index on a kernel
|
|
that doesn't support this feature will have unexpected results.
|
|
|
|
Most users should say N here and enable this feature on a case-by-
|
|
case basis with the "nfs_export=on" mount option.
|
|
|
|
Say N unless you fully understand the consequences.

If this config option is enabled then overlay filesystems will use
