Merge tag 'ovl-update-5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs
Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi:
- Copy up immutable/append/sync/noatime attributes (Amir Goldstein)
- Improve performance by enabling RCU lookup.
- Misc fixes and improvements
The reason this touches so many files is that the ->get_acl() method now
gets a "bool rcu" argument. The ->get_acl() API was updated based on
comments from Al and Linus:
