Some distributions carry an "old" format of overlayfs while mainline has a "new" format. The distros will possibly want to keep the old overlayfs alongside the new for compatibility reasons. To make it possible to differentiate the two versions change the name of the new one from "overlayfs" to "overlay".

tristate "Overlay filesystem support"

help
|
|
An overlay filesystem combines two filesystems - an 'upper' filesystem
|
|
and a 'lower' filesystem. When a name exists in both filesystems, the
|
|
object in the 'upper' filesystem is visible while the object in the
|
|
'lower' filesystem is either hidden or, in the case of directories,
|
|
merged with the 'upper' object.
