Amir Goldstein d9544c1b0d ovl: store persistent uuid/fsid with uuid=on
With uuid=on, store a persistent uuid in xattr on the upper dir to
give the overlayfs instance a persistent identifier.

This also makes f_fsid persistent and more reliable for reporting
fid info in fanotify events.

uuid=on is not supported on non-upper overlayfs or with upper fs
that does not support xattrs.

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.
