With inodes index enabled, an overlay inode nlink counts the union of upper and non-covered lower hardlinks. During the lifetime of a non-pure upper inode, the following nlink modifying operations can happen: 1. Lower hardlink copy up 2. Upper hardlink created, unlinked or renamed over 3. Lower hardlink whiteout or renamed over For the first, copy up case, the union nlink does not change, whether the operation succeeds or fails, but the upper inode nlink may change. Therefore, before copy up, we store the union nlink value relative to the lower inode nlink in the index inode xattr trusted.overlay.nlink. For the second, upper hardlink case, the union nlink should be incremented or decremented IFF the operation succeeds, aligned with nlink change of the upper inode. Therefore, before link/unlink/rename, we store the union nlink value relative to the upper inode nlink in the index inode. For the last, lower cover up case, we simplify things by preceding the whiteout or cover up with copy up. This makes sure that there is an index upper inode where the nlink xattr can be stored before the copied up upper entry is unlink. Return the overlay inode nlinks for indexed upper inodes on stat(2).

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
