Title:
  overlay: mkdir fails if directory exists in lowerdir in a user
  namespace

  Fix Released

Status in linux-lts-wily source package in Wily:

Bug description:
  If a directory exists in the lowerdir but not in the mounted
  overlay, then mkdir of the directory in the target dir results
  in a mysterious -EPERM.  I've seen this both in wily kernel
  (4.2.0-22-generic #27-Ubuntu) and in a hand-built xenial
  master-next (with unrelated patches added).

  =====================================================
  #!/bin/sh -ex
  dir=`mktemp -d`
  cleanup() {
   umount -l $dir/t
   rm -rf $dir
  }

  trap cleanup EXIT

  echo "dir is $dir"
  mkdir -p $dir/l $dir/u $dir/w $dir/t
  mkdir $dir/l/dev
  mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=$dir/l,upperdir=$dir/u,workdir=$dir/w o $dir/t
  stat $dir/t/dev
  rmdir $dir/t/dev
  mkdir $dir/t/dev
  echo $?
  echo "mkdir should have succeeded"
  =====================================================

  The above will work on the host, but fail in a user namespace, i.e
  in a regular lxd container.
