Merge tag 'ovl-update-5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs
Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:
- Allow unprivileged mounting in a user namespace.
For quite some time the security model of overlayfs has been that
operations on underlying layers shall be performed with the
privileges of the mounting task.
This way an unprvileged user cannot gain privileges by the act of
mounting an overlayfs instance. A full audit of all function calls
made by the overlayfs code has been performed to see whether they
conform to this model, and this branch contains some fixes in this
regard.
- Support running on copied filesystem images by optionally disabling
UUID verification.
- Bug fixes as well as documentation updates.
