Title:
  3.18 overlayfs: renaming existing file leaves whiteout visible

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On a recent vivid livecd, after I rename a file that exists in the
  lower filesystem, the whiteout entry is visible.

  root@ubuntu:~# ls -l /etc/fstab
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63 Jan 13 11:56 /etc/fstab
  root@ubuntu:~# mv /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.renamed
  root@ubuntu:~# ls -l /etc/fstab*
  c--------- 1 root root 0, 0 Jan 13 19:57 /etc/fstab
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root   63 Jan 13 11:56 /etc/fstab.renamed
  root@ubuntu:~#

  It still happens if I trigger a copy-up first by editing the file.

  Files that exist only in the upper filesystem (created after booting
  the livecd) work properly.

  On utopic, everything works properly. I have not tested a 3.17 kernel.
