Chandan Rajendra 2a9c6d066e ovl: allocate anonymous devs for lowerdirs
Generate unique values of st_dev per lower layer for non-samefs
overlay mount. The unique values are obtained by allocating anonymous
bdevs for each of the lowerdirs in the overlayfs instance.

The anonymous bdev is going to be returned by stat(2) for lowerdir
non-dir entries in non-samefs case.

[amir: split from ovl_getattr() and re-structure patches]

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.
