    Merge tag 'ovl-update-4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs · d9a185f8
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:
     "This contains two new features:
    
       - Stack file operations: this allows removal of several hacks from
         the VFS, proper interaction of read-only open files with copy-up,
         possibility to implement fs modifying ioctls properly, and others.
    
       - Metadata only copy-up: when file is on lower layer and only
         metadata is modified (except size) then only copy up the metadata
         and continue to use the data from the lower file"
