This flag is meant to request that the VOP implementation ignore whiteout entries when processing directory contents. Employ this flag (initially) in UFS when determining whether a directory is empty for the purpose of deleting it or renaming another directory over it. The previous UFS behavior was to always ignore whiteouts and to therefore always allow directories containing only whiteouts to be deleted or overwritten. This makes sense when the directory in question is being accessed through a unionfs view in which the whiteouts produce a unionfs directory that is logically empty, but it makes less sense when directly operating against the UFS directory in which case silently discarding the whiteouts may produce unexpected behavior in a current or future unionfs view. IGNOREWHITEOUT is therefore treated as opt-in and only specified by unionfs_rmdir() when invoking VOP_RMDIR() against the upper filesystem. IGNOREWHITEOUT is not currently used for unionfs rename operations, as the current implementation of unionfs_rename() simply forbids renaming over any existing upper filesystem directory in the first place.
