Hi Linus,
Please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git tags/ovl-fixes-4.19-rc4
This fixes a regression in the recent file stacking update, reported and fixed
by Amir Goldstein. The fix is fairly trivial, but involves adding a fadvise()
f_op and the associated churn in the vfs. As discussed on -fsdevel, there are
other possible uses for this method, than allowing proper stacking for overlays.
And there's one other fix for a syzkaller detected oops.
Thanks,
Miklos
