+ * Before encoding a non-upper directory file handle from real layer N, we need
+ * to check if it will be possible to reconnect an overlay dentry from the real
+ * lower decoded dentry. This is done by following the overlay ancestry up to a
+ * "layer N connected" ancestor and verifying that all parents along the way are
+ * "layer N connectable". If an ancestor that is NOT "layer N connectable" is
+ * found, we need to copy up an ancestor, which is "layer N connectable", thus
+ * making that ancestor "layer N connected". For example:
+ *
+ * layer 1: /a
+ * layer 2: /a/b/c
+ *
+ * The overlay dentry /a is NOT "layer 2 connectable", because if dir /a is
+ * copied up and renamed, upper dir /a will be indexed by lower dir /a from
+ * layer 1. The dir /a from layer 2 will never be indexed, so the algorithm (*)
+ * in ovl_lookup_real_ancestor() will not be able to lookup a connected overlay
+ * dentry from the connected lower dentry /a/b/c.
+ *
+ * To avoid this problem on decode time, we need to copy up an ancestor of
+ * /a/b/c, which is "layer 2 connectable", on encode time. That ancestor is
+ * /a/b. After copy up (and index) of /a/b, it will become "layer 2 connected"
+ * and when the time comes to decode the file handle from lower dentry /a/b/c,
+ * ovl_lookup_real_ancestor() will find the indexed ancestor /a/b and decoding
+ * a connected overlay dentry will be accomplished.
+ *
+ * (*) the algorithm in ovl_lookup_real_ancestor() can be improved to lookup an
+ * entry /a in the lower layers above layer N and find the indexed dir /a from
+ * layer 1. If that improvement is made, then the check for "layer N connected"
+ * will need to verify there are no redirects in lower layers above N. In the
+ * example above, /a will be "layer 2 connectable". However, if layer 2 dir /a
+ * is a target of a layer 1 redirect, then /a will NOT be "layer 2 connectable":
+ *
+ * layer 1: /A (redirect = /a)
+ * layer 2: /a/b/c
