Hi Stephen, Al, Miklos, I noticed that the vfs tree for-next branch is not yet in linux-next and has a merge conflict with overlayfs-next branch, already in linux-next. This is a trivial conflict due to the fact that commit f9c34674bc60 ("vfs: factor out helpers d_instantiate_anon() and d_alloc_anon()") refactors __d_obtain_alias() and changes the variable name from 'tmp' to 'dentry'. Below is the patch to resolve the conflict when merging vfs for-next onto overlayfs-next. Probably best if Al picks up the re-factoring patch to his tree anyway.
