ovl_lookup_layer() iterates on path elements of d->name.name
but also frees and allocates a new pointer for d->name.name.
For the case of lookup in upper layer, the initial d->name.name
pointer is stable (dentry->d_name), but for lower layers, the
initial d->name.name can be d->redirect, which can be freed during
iteration.
[SzM]
Keep the count of remaining characters in the redirect path and calculate
the current position from that. This works becuase only the prefix is
modified, the ending always stays the same.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
