Hi,

Here is the V8 of the patches. Primarily I have taken care of comments
from Amir.

This applies on top of the fix I posted with subject "ovl: Pass
ovl_get_nlink() parameters in right order"

Amir, I have added one more patch int series where I pass index dentry
to ovl_get_nlink() to get rid of a warning during testing.

I think only outstanding concern with this patch series now is how to
detect that metacopy feature was ever enabled and there are some
metacopy only files present. In that case we probably don't want to
allow user to mount with metacopy=off. We currently don't seem to have
a generic infrastructure which keeps track of features and backward
compatibility stuff etc. Discussion still seems to be on upstream.

Is this a blocker for this patch series or this is something we can
live with? Only downside of mounting a file system which has metacopied
files (with metacopy=off), is that user will see truncated files.
