[PATCH 0/2] overlayfs fixes

From: Andy Whitcroft

I did some further testing of overlayfs using it to boot a live filesystem,
which was unsuccessful overall. I found a couple of issues thrown up by
using squashfs as the underlying layer. Following this email are a couple
of fixes I used to get much closer.

Also, do you have a rebased version of this code for v2.6.37-rc2?
I had a quick run at it and ended up messing it up (panics on boot).

Andy Whitcroft (2):
overlayfs: handle missing lower inodes in ovl_is_same_inode
overlayfs: ovl_copy_up_xattr -- handle EOPNOTSUPP from vfs_listxattr
