Hi Linus,
Please pull overlayfs update for 6.7.
Most of the changes in this update have been sitting in linux-next for
several weeks, based on two prerequisite vfs topic branches.
Last week, after the vfs branches were merged, I rebased overlayfs-next
to reduce noise.
Last week, I also added patches for new mount options to replace the
lowerdir append syntax that we disabled in v6.6-rc6 and v6.5.8.
This branch has gone through the usual overlayfs test routines and it
merges cleanly with master branch of the moment.
Thanks,
Amir.
