Looks like some corner case race when using same dir as upper and lower.
Doesn't look like a critical issue, I just don't know how to explain
getting to this
state. Couldn't reproduce on my target machine.

It would have been interesting for me to see the strace of the repro threads
when that WARN happens. I wonder if anyone else has already asked for it and
how hard would it be to make that information available with the bug report.

Thanks,
Amir.
