Merge tag 'ovl-update-5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs
Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:
"Fixes:
- Resolve mount option conflicts consistently
- Sync before remount R/O
- Fix file handle encoding corner cases
- Fix metacopy related issues
- Fix an unintialized return value
- Add missing permission checks for underlying layers
Optimizations:
- Allow multipe whiteouts to share an inode
- Optimize small writes by inheriting SB_NOSEC from upper layer
- Do not call ->syncfs() multiple times for sync(2)
- Do not cache negative lookups on upper layer
- Make private internal mounts longterm"
