syzbot found issues with having hugetlbfs on a union/overlay as reported in [1]. Due to the limitations (no write) and special functionality of hugetlbfs, it does not work well in filesystem stacking. There are no know use cases for hugetlbfs stacking. Rather than making modifications to get hugetlbfs working in such environments, simply prevent stacking.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
