Readdir on directories that are not merged is simply handled by the
underlying directory (upper or lower).
+renaming directories
+--------------------
+
+When renaming a directory that is on the lower layer or merged (i.e. the
+directory was not created on the upper layer to start with) overlayfs can
+handle it in two different ways:
+
+1) return EXDEV error: this error is returned by rename(2) when trying to
+ move a file or directory across filesystem boundaries. Hence
+ applications are usually prepared to hande this error (mv(1) for example
+ recursively copies the directory tree). This is the default behavior.
+
+2) If the "redirect_dir" feature is enabled, then the directory will be
+ copied up (but not the contents). Then the "trusted.overlay.redirect"
+ extended attribute is set to the path of the original location from the
+ root of the overlay. Finally the directory is moved to the new
+ location.
Non-directories
---------------
"break" the link. Changes will not be propagated to other names
referring to the same inode.
-Directory trees are not copied up. If rename(2) is performed on a directory
-which is on the lower layer or is merged, then -EXDEV will be returned.
+Unless "redirect_dir" feature is enabled, rename(2) on a lower or merged
+directory will fail with EXDEV.
Changes to underlying filesystems
---------------------------------
/*
* Copy up a single dentry
*
- * Directory renames only allowed on "pure upper" (already created on
- * upper filesystem, never copied up). Directories which are on lower or
- * are merged may not be renamed. For these -EXDEV is returned and
- * userspace has to deal with it. This means, when copying up a
- * directory we can rely on it and ancestors being stable.
- *
- * Non-directory renames start with copy up of source if necessary. The
- * actual rename will only proceed once the copy up was successful. Copy
- * up uses upper parent i_mutex for exclusion. Since rename can change
- * d_parent it is possible that the copy up will lock the old parent. At
- * that point the file will have already been copied up anyway.
