Re: Kernel errors with overlay filesystem v22

[David Howells]

This sequence of commands produces both errors:

 mount -t tmpfs lower_layer /lower
 mount -t tmpfs upper_layer /upper
 mkdir /upper/upper
 mkdir /upper/work
 mount -t overlayfs overlayfs /mnt -olowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper/upper,workdir=/upper/work
 # The lockdep error was reported in the above mount command
 umount /mnt
 umount /upper
 # The dentry leak error was reported in the last umount command

where /lower, /upper and /mnt are preexisting directories.

Note that prior to this, mounting and unmounting a tmpfs filesystem worked
with no errors.
