Hi Linus, Please pull from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git overlayfs-linus This work from Amir introduces the inodes index feature, which provides: - hardlinks are not broken on copy up; - infrastructure for overlayfs NFS export. This also fixes constant st_ino for samefs case for lower hardlinks. There's one patch touching <linux/fs.h>, which adds an inode flag for testing "in use by another overlay". So this flag is set on inodes in the underlying layers, but the use is private to overlayfs.
