Merge tag 'kernel-6.14-rc1.cred' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull cred refcount updates from Christian Brauner:
 "For the v6.13 cycle we switched overlayfs to a variant of
  override_creds() that doesn't take an extra reference. To this end the
  {override,revert}_creds_light() helpers were introduced.

  This generalizes the idea behind {override,revert}_creds_light() to
  the {override,revert}_creds() helpers. Afterwards overriding and
  reverting credentials is reference count free unless the caller
  explicitly takes a reference.

  All callers have been appropriately ported"

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 reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
