So far, with xino=auto, we only enable xino if we know that all underlying filesystem use 32bit inode numbers. When users configure overlay with xino=auto, they already declare that they are ready to handle 64bit inode number from overlay. It is a very common case, that underlying filesystem uses 64bit ino, but rarely or never uses the high inode number bits (e.g. tmpfs, xfs). Leaving it for the users to declare high ino bits are unused with xino=on is not a recipe for many users to enjoy the benefits of xino. There appears to be very little reason not to enable xino when users declare xino=auto even if we do not know how many bits underlying filesystem uses for inode numbers. In the worst case of xino bits overflow by real inode number, we already fall back to the non-xino behavior - real inode number with unique pseudo dev or to non persistent inode number and overlay st_dev (for directories). The only annoyance from auto enabling xino is that xino bits overflow emits a warning to kmsg. Suppress those warnings unless users explicitly asked for xino=on, suggesting that they expected high ino bits to be unused by underlying filesystem.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
