On 64bit systems, when overlay layers are not all on the same fs, but all inode numbers of underlying fs are not using the high bits, use the high bits to partition the overlay st_ino address space. The high bits hold the fsid (upper fsid is 0). This way overlay inode numbers are unique and all inodes use overlay st_dev. Inode numbers are also persistent for a given layer configuration. Currently, our only indication for available high ino bits is from a filesystem that supports file handles and uses the default encode_fh() operation, which encodes a 32bit inode number.

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.
