Hi!
> The new test case is a regression test for kernel commit b833a3660394

> ("ovl: fix GPF in swapfile_activate of file from overlayfs over xfs").

I've pushed the patches up to this patch with the change to the error
propagation as we agreed and:

* Added commit hashes of the two commits mentioned in this changelog
  to the top level comment of this test, since this is the place where
  testers look first for this kind of information.

+ Added one simplification patch on the top of this

I will look closer at the last one now.

Thanks for your work on the test.
