One thing might be worth noticing is that currently overlayfs might
not work properly when dentry->d_sb->s_encoding is set even only some
subdirs are CI-enabled but the others not, see generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops(),
ovl_mount_dir_noesc => ovl_dentry_weird()

For more details, see:

Just found it by chance (and not sure if it's vital for now), and
a kind reminder about this.

Thanks,
