Hi Linus,
Please pull overlayfs fixes for 6.6-rc5.
This branch has been sitting in linux-next for a couple of days and
it has gone through the usual overlayfs test routines.
The branch merges cleanly with master branch of the moment.
Thanks,
Amir.

ovl: fix NULL pointer defer when encoding non-decodable lower fid (2023-10-03 09:24:11 +0300)
----------------------------------------------------------------
overlayfs fixes for 6.6-rc5:
- Fix for file reference leak regression from v6.6-rc2
- Fix for NULL pointer deref regression from v6.6-rc1
- Fixes for RCU-walk race regressions from v6.5:
Two of the fixes were taken from Al's RCU pathwalk race fixes series
with his concent [1].
Note that unlike most of Al's series, these two patches are not about
racing with ->kill_sb() and they are also very recent regressions from
v6.5, so I think it's worth getting them into v6.5.y.
There is also a fix for an RCU pathwalk race with ->kill_sb(), which
may have been solved in vfs generic code as you suggested, but it also
rids overlayfs from a nasty hack, so I think it's worth anyway.
