This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ovl: fix regression in parsing of mount options with escaped comma to the 6.5-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: ovl-fix-regression-in-parsing-of-mount-options-with-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.5 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2173505925ac9b7d66ba7765aca6bbdc9722bf92 Author: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Oct 12 16:08:28 2023 +0300 ovl: fix regression in parsing of mount options with escaped comma [ Upstream commit c34706acf40b43dd31f67c92c5a95d39666a1eb3 ] Ever since commit 91c77947133f ("ovl: allow filenames with comma"), the following example was legit overlayfs mount options: mount -t overlay overlay -o 'lowerdir=/tmp/a\,b/lower' /mnt The conversion to new mount api moved to using the common helper generic_parse_monolithic() and discarded the specialized ovl_next_opt() option separator. Bring back ovl_next_opt() and use vfs_parse_monolithic_sep() to fix the regression.
