Pull overlayfs fixes from Miklos Szeredi: "Needed to revert a patch, because it possibly introduces a security hole. Since the patch is basically a conceptual cleanup, not a bug fix, it's safe to revert. I'm not giving up on this, and discussions seemed to have reached an agreement over how to move forward, but that can wait 'till the next release. The other two patches are fixes for bugs introduced in recent releases" * tag 'ovl-fixes-4.20-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs: Revert "ovl: relax permission checking on underlying layers" ovl: fix decode of dir file handle with multi lower layers ovl: fix missing override creds in link of a metacopy upper
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.
