This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed- xenial'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

This is due to a bug in overlayfs. Fix: Backport upstream fix, plus some cleanup to make the backup cleaner. Regression Potential: All changes are straightforward and have low risk of introducing regressions. --- Due to an issue in overlayfs, in some scenrios docker users can get erroneous "permission denied" errors when using the overlay2 storage driver. When a user has search permissions on the upper dir but not the lower dir they may get this error, where having search permissions for the upper dir should be sufficient. This is fixed by upstream commit 38b78a5f18584db6fa7441e0f4531b283b0e6725. Originally reported at https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/28391.
