There are two fixes [1][2] in upstream depend on this patch, I plan to send those fixes[1][2] after proper testing in 4.4..

[1] eea2fb4851e9d ("ovl: proper cleanup of workdir") [2] 415543d5c64fe ("ovl: cleanup bad and stale index entries on mount")

Please consider to apply this patch to 4.4-stable, thanks.

Please send all of these as a series so that I _know_ these are all needed in this order.

Thanks,
