Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] ovl: do not set overlay.opaque for new directories
Date: Thu, 27 May 2021 16:05:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210527140534.107607-3-uvv.mail@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210527140534.107607-1-uvv.mail@gmail.com>

From: Vyacheslav Yurkov <Vyacheslav.Yurkov@bruker.com>

Disable optimizations if user opted-in for any of extended features.
If optimization is enabled, it breaks existing use case when a lower layer
directory appears after directory was created on a merged layer. If
overlay.opaque is applied, new files on lower layer are not visible.

Consider the following scenario:
- /lower and /upper are mounted to /merged
- directory /merged/new-dir is created with a file test1
- overlay is unmounted
- directory /lower/new-dir is created with a file test2
- overlay is mounted again

If opaque is applied by default, file test2 is not going to be visible
without explicitly clearing the overlay.opaque attribute
