passed my tests.
I now run all my tests (including unionmount-testsuite) on a setup of
overlayfs over xfs with reflink:
- xfstests - from my github overlayfs-devel branch
  -g quick and overlay/*
  including new test 016 to check ro/rw fd data inconsistencies
- pjdfstest - from my github overlayfs-devel branch
  including acl/xattr tests
- unionmount-testsuite - from my github overlayfs-devel branch
  without recycling (--ov), with mount recycle -(-ov=0) and with mount
recycle and
  layers (--ov=10)
