Merge tag 'vfs-6.13.ovl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull overlayfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Make overlayfs support specifying layers through file descriptors.
Currently overlayfs only allows specifying layers through path names.
This is inconvenient for users that want to assemble an overlayfs
mount purely based on file descriptors:
This enables user to specify both:
fsconfig(fd_overlay, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "upperdir+", NULL, fd_upper);
fsconfig(fd_overlay, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "workdir+", NULL, fd_work);
fsconfig(fd_overlay, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "lowerdir+", NULL, fd_lower1);
fsconfig(fd_overlay, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "lowerdir+", NULL, fd_lower2);
in addition to:
fsconfig(fd_overlay, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "upperdir+", "/upper", 0);
fsconfig(fd_overlay, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "workdir+", "/work", 0);
fsconfig(fd_overlay, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir+", "/lower1", 0);
fsconfig(fd_overlay, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir+", "/lower2", 0);
There's also a large set of new overlayfs selftests to test new
features and some older properties"
* tag 'vfs-6.13.ovl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
selftests: add test for specifying 500 lower layers
selftests: add overlayfs fd mounting selftests
selftests: use shared header
Documentation,ovl: document new file descriptor based layers
ovl: specify layers via file descriptors
fs: add helper to use mount option as path or fd
