Linus Torvalds 48023102b7 Merge branch 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs
Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:
 "In addition to bug fixes and cleanups there are two new features from
  Amir:

   - Consistent inode number support for the case when layers are not
     all on the same filesystem (feature is dubbed "xino").

   - Optimize overlayfs file handle decoding. This one touches the
     exportfs interface to allow detecting the disconnected directory
     case"

* 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
  ovl: update documentation w.r.t "xino" feature
  ovl: add support for "xino" mount and config options
  ovl: consistent d_ino for non-samefs with xino
  ovl: consistent i_ino for non-samefs with xino
  ovl: constant st_ino for non-samefs with xino
  ovl: allocate anon bdev per unique lower fs
  ovl: factor out ovl_map_dev_ino() helper
  ovl: cleanup ovl_update_time()
  ovl: add WARN_ON() for non-dir redirect cases
  ovl: cleanup setting OVL_INDEX
  ovl: set d->is_dir and d->opaque for last path element
  ovl: Do not check for redirect if this is last layer
  ovl: lookup in inode cache first when decoding lower file handle
  ovl: do not try to reconnect a disconnected origin dentry
  ovl: disambiguate ovl_encode_fh()
  ovl: set lower layer st_dev only if setting lower st_ino
  ovl: fix lookup with middle layer opaque dir and absolute path redirects
  ovl: Set d->last properly during lookup
  ovl: set i_ino to the value of st_ino for NFS export

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
