[PATCH v2] overlay: test hardlink breakage on copy up

[PATCH v2] overlay: test hardlink breakage on copy up

[Amir Goldstein]

Introduce a new test to demonstrate a known issue with overlayfs:
- file A and B are hardlinked in lower
- modify A to trigger copy up
- file A is no longer a hardlink of file B

There is no fix for this issue at this time.

v2: avoid cd into $SCRATCH_MNT

Eryu,

Merging this test with unknown schedule for fix is up to you.
I just wanted to write all the tests to cover
https://github.com/amir73il/overlayfs/wiki/Non-standard-behavior
and this was the last one.

Anyway, I'll keep it hanging on my overlayfs-devel branch on github.

Cheers,
Amir.
