Sorry. Yes, you're right.

That confuses me quite a bit. I did it once again on an ext4 mount
(still the 5.10.0-3-arm64 kernel):
nsc@lillesand:/tmp$ cat
/sys/module/overlay/parameters/permit_mounts_in_userns
Y
nsc@lillesand:/tmp$ mkdir -p test/lower/a test/merged test/upper test/work
nsc@lillesand:/tmp$ uname -a | tee test/lower/a/a
Linux lillesand 5.10.0-3-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.13-1 (2021-02-06) aarch64

Do you see any kernel log message from overlay fs? Might it depend on
the underlying filesystem? Can you create a white-out char dev node
manually?

The 'permit_mounts_in_userns' module parameter becomes superfluous with
v5.11 as overlay fs mounts will then always be enabled in userspace
namespace.
Kind regards,
