The commit you wrote as [2] is actually
eee5cc2 2013-11-09 get rid of s_files and files_lock
which was for linux-v3.13. And aufs3.13 supported it by
c4f4458 2013-12-17 aufs: for linux-3.13, s_files is gone and si_files
has=
come
I'd suggest you to check this c4f4458 commit. And then consider these
commits too.

create aufs3.12.52 or something.
