Bug description:
Hi
When you mount an overlayfs in an overlayfs, you get really issues about
files not being found on the lower overlayfs
However a fix for this appears to have been merged into the kernel in master
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/c4fcfc1619ea43a8a89ad2f83ff23905eee088bd
In
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/c4fcfc1619ea43a8a89ad2f83ff23905eee088bd
there is a simple script to replicate this issue, where currently, it
returns "No such device or address"
Is there any chance that this fix can be backported into Ubuntu's
kernel?
but there also says something about 4.8 in the commit log, does that
mean that it is going to be backported to 4.8?
