Hi Greg, <snip> > > backports of what? If this isn't needed in the stable tree, I don't really want to add it. If > some other fix requires it I will be glad to take it. But I dont see that here, right? There are two fixes [1][2] in upstream depend on this patch, I plan to send those fixes[1][2] after proper testing in 4.4.. [1] eea2fb4851e9d ("ovl: proper cleanup of workdir") [2] 415543d5c64fe ("ovl: cleanup bad and stale index entries on mount") Please consider to apply this patch to 4.4-stable, thanks. > > thanks, > > greg k-h SZ
