Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi: "The biggest part of this is making st_dev/st_ino on the overlay behave like a normal filesystem (i.e. st_ino doesn't change on copy up, st_dev is the same for all files and directories). Currently this only works if all layers are on the same filesystem, but future work will move the general case towards more sane behavior. There are also miscellaneous fixes, including fixes to handling append-only files. There's a small change in the VFS, but that only has an effect on overlayfs, since otherwise file->f_path.dentry->inode and file_inode(file) are always the same" * 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs: ovl: update documentation w.r.t. constant inode numbers ovl: persistent inode numbers for upper hardlinks ovl: merge getattr for dir and nondir ovl: constant st_ino/st_dev across copy up ovl: persistent inode number for directories ovl: set the ORIGIN type flag ovl: lookup non-dir copy-up-origin by file handle ovl: use an auxiliary var for overlay root entry ovl: store file handle of lower inode on copy up ovl: check if all layers are on the same fs ovl: do not set overlay.opaque on non-dir create ovl: check IS_APPEND() on real upper inode vfs: ftruncate check IS_APPEND() on real upper inode ovl: Use designated initializers ovl: lockdep annotate of nested stacked overlayfs inode lock
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
