ovl: redirect on rename-dir Current code returns EXDEV when a directory would need to be copied up to move. We could copy up the directory tree in this case, but there's another, simpler solution: point to old lower directory from moved upper directory. This is achieved with a "trusted.overlay.redirect" xattr storing the path relative to the root of the overlay. After such attribute has been set, the directory can be moved without further actions required. This is a backward incompatible feature, old kernels won't be able to correctly mount an overlay containing redirected directories. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
