If there is no 6.4-rc8, then the 6.5 merge window will open just 5 days from now. This series has recently gone through some significant changes, including in the version just sent out today which I haven't had a chance to review yet. Please don't try to rush things in when they involve UAPI and on-disk format changes, which will have to be supported forever. We need to take the time to get them right. I also see that the overlayfs tree is already very busy in 6.5, with the support for data-only lower layers, lazy lookup of lowerdata, and the new mount API. I think 6.6 would be a more realistic target. That would give time to write proper documentation as well, which is super important. (Very often while writing documentation, I realize that I should do something differently in the code. Please don't think of documentation as something can be done "later".) - Eric
