Kernel v6.5 converted overlayfs to new mount api.
As an added bonus, it also added a feature to allow appending lowerdirs
using lowerdir=:/lower2,lowerdir=::/data3 syntax.
This new syntax has raised some concerns regarding escaping of colons.
We decided to try and disable this syntax, which hasn't been in the wild
for so long and introduce it again in 6.7 using explicit mount options
lowerdir+=/lower2,datadir+=/data3.

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.
