Hey Linus,
/* Summary */
This contains another round of fixes for this cycle:
- Fix a regression in overlayfs caused by reworking the lookup_one*()
set of helpers.
- Make sure that the name of the dentry is printed in
overlayfs' mkdir() helper.
- Add missing iocb values to TRACE_IOCB_STRINGS define.
- Unlock the superblock during iterate_supers_type().
This was an accidental internal api change.
- Drop a misleading assert in file_seek_cur_needs_f_lock() helper.
- Never refuse to return PIDFD_GET_INGO when parent pid is zero.
That can trivially happen in container scenarios where the parent
process might be located in an ancestor pid namespace.
- Don't revalidate in try_lookup_noperm() as that causes regression for
filesystems such as cifs.
- Fix simple_xattr_list() and reset the err variable after
security_inode_listsecurity() got called so as not to confuse
userspace about the length of the xattr.
