Merge patch series "ovl: allow O_PATH file descriptor when specifying layers"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
Allow overlayfs to use O_PATH file descriptors when specifying layers.
Userspace must currently use non-O_PATH file desriptors which is often
pointless especially if the file descriptors have been created via
open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE). This has been a frequent request and came up
again in [1].
