have you tried your proposal ?
from my point of view, it will not work because overlayfs locks inodes in some
of his functions, therefore if a mount of overlayfs has an inode locked then
another overlayfs mount will be waiting for the same inode but it can not be
available until the current function had finished, the kernel wll detect this
uncoherent situation and print a dump.
