I feel lucky to have you on this one. ;-) Do you mean applying a
specific patch on 3.10 kernel? Or is this one too old to have it working
anyways.

Hi Luis,
Thanks for your help. Sorry I forgot about the kernel details. This is latest
RHEL 7.9.

Are you able to modify the content of a snapshot directory using overlayfs on
your side?
[ Cc'ing Jeff ]
Yes, I'm able to do that using a *recent* kernel. I got curious and after
some digging I managed to reproduce the issue with kernel 5.3. The
culprit was commit e09580b343aa ("ceph: don't list vxattrs in
listxattr()"), in 5.4.
Getting a bit more into the whole rabbit hole, it looks like
ovl_copy_xattr() will try to copy all the ceph-related vxattrs. And that
won't work (for ex. for ceph.dir.entries).
Can you try cherry-picking this commit into your kernel to see if that
fixes it for you?
Cheers,
