Amir Goldstein a9d019573e ovl: lookup non-dir copy-up-origin by file handle
If overlay.origin xattr is found on a non-dir upper inode try to get lower
dentry by calling exportfs_decode_fh().

On failure to lookup by file handle to lower layer, do not lookup the copy
up origin by name, because the lower found by name could be another file in
case the upper file was renamed.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
