Comment (by anonymous):
After this patch I am able to move and delete directories that only exist
in the lower layer file system. But, I did notice that for every
RENAME_EXCHANGE operation on a lower layer jffs2 directory it creates an
orphan in the jffs2 xattr subsystem. I think this is related to the way
the new overlayfs uses the "trusted.overlay.opaque" xattr for opaque
directories.
As an example, if I remove a directory that only exists in the lower
layers the next time the hardware is rebooted (or whenever the jffs2
overlay is mounted again) dmesg will report a new xattr orphan: jffs2:
notice: (382) jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem: complete building xattr
subsystem, 1 of xdatum (0 unchecked, 1 orphan) and 1 of xref (0 dead, 1
orphan) found.
I am not sure if having xattr orphans is a long term problem for jffs2?
