Hi Linus, Please pull from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git tags/ovl-fixes-4.20-rc7 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. Thanks, Miklos ---------------------------------------------------------------- Amir Goldstein (2): ovl: fix missing override creds in link of a metacopy upper ovl: fix decode of dir file handle with multi lower layers Miklos Szeredi (1): Revert "ovl: relax permission checking on underlying layers" --- fs/overlayfs/dir.c | 14 +++++++++++++- fs/overlayfs/export.c | 6 +++--- fs/overlayfs/inode.c | 17 ++++------------- 3 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-)
