Christian,

Did you apply those commits by mistake when you rebased vfs.misc
instead of merging vfs.mount.write into vfs.misc as it was prior to rebase?

Maybe it would be easier to rebase vfs.misc over vfs.mount.write?
with the intention of including these two patches inside a larger PR?

ATM, overlayfs-next relies on two vfs branches as being stable:
vfs.mount.write and vfs.xattr.

It's not a problem for me to rebase on any other stable branches
that include those changes if you wish to reorganize the vfs topic
branches differently.

Thanks,
Amir.
