OverlayFS工作目录(workdir)是一个空目录，必须与upperdir位于同一文件系统上。当在合并目录中写入或修改文件时，lower文件被复制到workdir，然后原子性地移动到upper目录。workdir的使用确保了在切换过程中，其他进程要么打开完整的lower文件，要么打开完整的upper文件，而不会看到中间状态。workdir是必要的，用于在原子操作中准备文件，将它们移动到overlay目标位置。
OverlayFS has a workdir option, beside two other directories lowerdir and upperdir, which needs to be an empty directory.
Unfortunately the kernel documentation of overlayfs does not talk much about the purpose of this option.
The "workdir" needs to be an empty directory on the same filesystem as upperdir.
For readonly overlays the workdir might be ommittet among the upperdir. This give me the clue that it has to do with writing the merged files.
Please explain what's happening in the workdir when files are written or changed in the merged directory. Why is the writable upperdir not enough?
