Hi Al,
Please pull from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git overlayfs-current
The biggest change is to rename the filesystem from "overlayfs" to "overlay".
This will allow legacy overlayfs to be easily carried by distros alongside the
new mainline one. Also fix a couple of copy-up races and allow escaping comma
character in filenames.
Thanks,
Miklos

Grabbed, will push after I get a bit of sleep (and the same regarding the
review and comments on the other branch).

Done that already. See "ovl: update MAINTAINERS" patch in that series.
Thanks,

This seems to be the place where overlayfs-fixes are collected for a
git-pull request.
Can you add a "T:" line with the Git tree into MAINTAINERS file if
this is the case?
If not please let the people know about current situation.
Thanks.

Dear Miklos,

Would you kindly give a firm elaboration of this rename?
Why would a distro kernel maintainer want to keep the external overlayfs
patches together with the now in kernel module?
Isn't it enough to drop the external patches from distro kernels in order to
use it successfully or are there any semantic changes hidden that an admin
should know about?
BTW: congrats to all involved parties. A layered filesystem finally arrived in
the Linux kernel! This is a quantum leap for creative system architects.
Cheers,
Pete

Okay, thanks. I must have missed this one. "overlay" is as good as a name can
be, IMHO.
Cheers,
Pete

I asked for that a while ago.
"Done" is good to hear.
What about the other stuff (see my questions in [1])?
Thanks.
