    ovl: relax requirement for non null uuid of lower fs · 9df085f3
    Amir Goldstein authored
    We use uuid to associate an overlay lower file handle with a lower layer,
    so we can accept lower fs with null uuid as long as all lower layers with
    null uuid are on the same fs.
    
    This change allows enabling index and nfs_export features for the setup of
    single lower fs of type squashfs - squashfs supports file handles, but has
    a null uuid. This change also allows enabling index and nfs_export features
    for nested overlayfs, where the lower overlay has nfs_export enabled.
    
    Enabling the index feature with single lower squashfs fixes the
    unionmount-testsuite test:
      ./run --ov --squashfs --verify
    
    As a by-product, if, like the lower squashfs, upper fs also uses the
    generic export_encode_fh() implementation to export 32bit inode file
    handles (e.g. ext4), then the xino_auto config/module/mount option will
    enable unique overlay inode numbers.
