Linus Torvalds a3d97d1d3f Merge tag 'ovl-fixes-7.0-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/overlayfs/vfs
Pull overlayfs fixes from Amir Goldstein:

 - Fix regression in 'xino' feature detection

   I clumsily introduced this regression myself when working on another
   subsystem (fsnotify). Both the regression and the fix have almost no
   visible impact on users except for some kmsg prints.

 - Fix to performance regression in v6.12.

   This regression was reported by Google COS developers.

   It is not uncommon these days for the year-old mature LTS to get
   adopted by distros and get exposed to many new workloads. We made a
   sub-smart move of making a behavior change in v6.12 which could
   impact performance, without making it opt-in. Fixing this mistake
   retroactively, to be picked by LTS.
