With mount option "xino=on", mounter declares that there are enough free high bits in underlying fs to hold the layer fsid. If overlayfs does encounter underlying inodes using the high xino bits reserved for layer fsid, a warning will be emitted and the original inode number will be used. The mount option name "xino" goes after a similar meaning mount option of aufs, but in overlayfs case, the mapping is stateless. An example for a use case of "xino=on" is when upper/lower is on an xfs filesystem. xfs uses 64bit inode numbers, but it currently never uses the upper 8bit for inode numbers exposed via stat(2) and that is not likely to change in the future without user opting-in for a new xfs feature. The actual number of unused upper bit is much larger and determined by the xfs filesystem geometry (64 - agno_log - agblklog - inopblog). That means that for all practical purpose, there are enough unused bits in xfs inode numbers for more than OVL_MAX_STACK unique fsid's. Another use case of "xino=on" is when upper/lower is on tmpfs. tmpfs inode numbers are allocated sequentially since boot, so they will practially never use the high inode number bits. For compatibility with applications that expect 32bit inodes, the feature can be disabled with "xino=off". The option "xino=auto" automatically detects underlying filesystem that use 32bit inodes and enables the feature. The Kconfig option OVERLAY_FS_XINO_AUTO and module parameter of the same name, determine if the default mode for overlayfs mount is "xino=auto" or "xino=off".

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.
