Ah, I'm beginning to grasp what's going on there: mulitple dentries
with the same name but belonging to different namespaces,
->d_compare() being used to select the right one. Is that it?

Overlayfs checks for d_compare() on the root of the lower and upper
trees, but here it only set on a subdirectory of proc, not on every
dentry. So overlayfs should be careful and check for
DCACHE_OP_COMPARE | DCACHE_OP_HASH and reject going down such a
dentry.


Thanks,
Miklos
