The changes for overlayfs in here are primarily focussed on preparing for some proposed changes to directory locking. Overlayfs currently will sometimes lock a directory on the upper filesystem and do a few different things while holding the lock. This is incompatible with the new potential scheme. This series narrows the region of code protected by the directory lock, taking it multiple times when necessary. This theoretically opens up the possibilty of other changes happening on the upper filesytem between the unlock and the lock. To some extent the patches guard against that by checking the dentries still have the expect parent after retaking the lock. In general, concurrent changes to the upper and lower filesystems aren't supported properly anyway" * tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.ovl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (25 commits) ovl: properly print correct variable ovl: rename ovl_cleanup_unlocked() to ovl_cleanup() ovl: change ovl_create_real() to receive dentry parent ovl: narrow locking in ovl_check_rename_whiteout() ovl: narrow locking in ovl_whiteout() ovl: change ovl_cleanup_and_whiteout() to take rename lock as needed ovl: narrow locking on ovl_remove_and_whiteout() ovl: change ovl_workdir_cleanup() to take dir lock as needed. ovl: narrow locking in ovl_workdir_cleanup_recurse() ovl: narrow locking in ovl_indexdir_cleanup() ovl: narrow locking in ovl_workdir_create() ovl: narrow locking in ovl_cleanup_index() ovl: narrow locking in ovl_cleanup_whiteouts() ovl: narrow locking in ovl_rename() ovl: simplify gotos in ovl_rename() ovl: narrow locking in ovl_create_over_whiteout() ovl: narrow locking in ovl_clear_empty() ovl: narrow locking in ovl_create_upper() ovl: narrow the locked region in ovl_copy_up_workdir() ovl: Call ovl_create_temp() without lock held. ... |

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.
