Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.13 kernel[0].
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

Steps to reproduce (/var is ext4, /tmp is tmpfs.): # mkdir -p /var/overlayfs-socket # cd /var/overlayfs-socket # mkdir root rofs /tmp/cow # mount -t overlayfs -o "upperdir=/tmp/cow,lowerdir=rofs" overlayfs root # ssh -NMS root/socket alkisg@localhost alkisg@localhost's password: [****] And on another tab of the same terminal: # ssh -S root/socket alkisg@localhost ls Control socket connect(root/socket): Connection refused alkisg@localhost's password: The problem is in the last line, on real filesystems or on tmpfs it doesn't ask for a password, it reuses the existing socket.
