Greg,

Upstream commit ("da2e6b7eeda8 ovl: fix overlay: warning prefix") was not marked for stable, because it is not a bug fix per-se. Nevertheless, it may be useful to apply it to stable kernels to keep overlayfs bug reports/analysis consistent.

The first hunk fixes (#v4.10): a6c606551141 ovl: redirect on rename-dir

The second hunk fixes (#v4.14): b5efccbe0a12 ovl: constant d_ino across copy up

For your consideration. If you wish, I can send a patch for v4.10 with just the first hunk.

Thanks, Amir.
