[lxc-devel] [PATCH v4] Make overlayfs mounts work directly

Quoting Christian Brauner (christianvanbrauner at gmail.com):
> When users wanted to mount overlay directories with lxc.mount.entry they had to
> create upperdirs and workdirs beforehand in order to mount them. To create it
> for them we add the functions mount_entry_create_overlay_dirs() and
> mount_entry_create_aufs_dirs() which do this for them. User can now simply
> specify e.g.:
> 
>         lxc.mount.entry = /lower merged overlay lowerdir=/lower,upper=/upper,workdir=/workdir,create=dir
> 
> and /upper and /workdir will be created for them. /upper and /workdir need to
> be absolute paths to directories which are created under the containerdir (e.g.
> under $lxcpath/CONTAINERNAME/). Relative mountpoints, mountpoints outside the
> containerdir, and mountpoints within the container's rootfs are ignored. (The
> latter *might* change in the future should it be considered safe/useful.)

Note the multiple indent is done for continuation of condition.  The action
should be indented with one tab.

Why no lxc_free_array and free(path) here?

again, frees here.
