An upper dir is marked "impure" to let ovl_iterate() know that this directory may contain non pure upper entries whose d_ino may need to be read from the origin inode. We already mark a non-merge dir "impure" when moving a non-pure child entry inside it, to let ovl_iterate() know not to iterate the non-merge dir directly. Mark also a merge dir "impure" when moving a non-pure child entry inside it and when copying up a child entry inside it. This can be used to optimize ovl_iterate() to perform a "pure merge" of upper and lower directories, merging the content of the directories, without having to read d_ino from origin inodes.

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.
