Hi Linus, Please pull from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git tags/ovl-fixes-4.18 This contains a fix for the vfs_mkdir() issue discovered by Al, as well as other fixes and cleanups. It's the first overlayfs pull request for 4.18, the only VFS bit here is a new inode hash insertion helper. That helper can be used internally by the other two (iget5_locked() and insert_inode_locked4()) so it's a cleanup as well. Alas, no ack from Al (no nak either, mind). I'll follow up with a more controversal pull request that has the meat of the overlayfs developement. The VFS bits got some acks from Christoph recently, and one nak that I've purged from the set. All of this has been posted and reviewed and generally gone through the normal development cycle, it's just hard to get the attention of top level vfs maintainers...
