Background
Backport #36 from v1.7 to release/1.7+labring. Archive apply could return ENOTDIR when creating a deeper path below an overlay whiteout ancestor, because Lstat fails before the whiteout itself is inspected.
Changes
Risks / Notes
Regular files, symlinks, and non-whiteout device nodes still fail as non-directory parents. This PR does not include a release tag.
