Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi: - Copy up immutable/append/sync/noatime attributes (Amir Goldstein) - Improve performance by enabling RCU lookup. - Misc fixes and improvements The reason this touches so many files is that the ->get_acl() method now gets a "bool rcu" argument. The ->get_acl() API was updated based on comments from Al and Linus: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/CAJfpeguQxpd6Wgc0Jd3ks77zcsAv_bn0q17L3VNnnmPKu11t8A@mail.gmail.com/ * tag 'ovl-update-5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs: ovl: enable RCU'd ->get_acl() vfs: add rcu argument to ->get_acl() callback ovl: fix BUG_ON() in may_delete() when called from ovl_cleanup() ovl: use kvalloc in xattr copy-up ovl: update ctime when changing fileattr ovl: skip checking lower file's i_writecount on truncate ovl: relax lookup error on mismatch origin ftype ovl: do not set overlay.opaque for new directories ovl: add ovl_allow_offline_changes() helper ovl: disable decoding null uuid with redirect_dir ovl: consistent behavior for immutable/append-only inodes ovl: copy up sync/noatime fileattr flags ovl: pass ovl_fs to ovl_check_setxattr() fs: add generic helper for filling statx attribute flags
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.
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.
