This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled fs: add two trivial lookup helpers to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: fs-add-two-trivial-lookup-helpers.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 00675017e0aeba5305665c52ded4ddce6a4c0231 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2022 12:51:40 +0200 Subject: fs: add two trivial lookup helpers From: Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 00675017e0aeba5305665c52ded4ddce6a4c0231 upstream. Similar to the addition of lookup_one() add a version of lookup_one_unlocked() and lookup_one_positive_unlocked() that take idmapped mounts into account. This is required to port overlay to support idmapped base layers.
