That means: two overlayfs dentries and only one overlayfs inode. and then 4. umount /overlay 5. mount -t overlayfs overlayfs -o lowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper /overlay (again) 6. cd /overlay 7. ls hello bye the overlayfs will create two inodes(one for the "hello", another for the "bye") and two dentries (each point a inode).That means: two dentries and two inodes. As above, with different order of "create link" and "mount", the result is not the same. In order to make the behavior coherent, we need to create inode in ovl_link.
