We get occasional reports of lookup errors due to mismatched origin ftype from users that re-format a lower squashfs image. Commit 13c6ad0f ("ovl: document lower modification caveats") tries to discourage the practice of re-formating lower layers and describes the expected behavior as undefined. Commit b0e0f697 ("ovl: restrict lower null uuid for "xino=auto"") limits the configurations in which origin file handles are followed. In addition to these measures, change the behavior in case of detecting a mismatch origin ftype in lookup to issue a warning, not follow origin, but not fail the lookup operation either. That should make overall more users happy without any big consequences.
