| |
Hi Linus,
Please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git overlayfs-linus
The meat of this is a change to use the mounter's credentials for operations that require elevated privileges (such as whiteout creation). This fixes behavior under user namespaces as well as being a nice cleanup.
Thanks, Miklos
--- Antonio Murdaca (1): ovl: override creds with the ones from the superblock mounter
Miklos Szeredi (1): ovl: update documentation
Vivek Goyal (1): ovl: Do d_type check only if work dir creation was successful
