Pull overlayfs updates from Amir Goldstein:
- Overlayfs aio cleanups and fixes
Cleanups and minor fixes in preparation for factoring out of
read/write passthrough code.
- Overlayfs lock ordering changes
Hold mnt_writers only throughout copy up instead of a long lived
elevated refcount.
- Add support for nesting overlayfs private xattrs
There are cases where you want to use an overlayfs mount as a
lowerdir for another overlayfs mount. For example, if the system
rootfs is on overlayfs due to composefs, or to make it volatile (via
tmpfs), then you cannot currently store a lowerdir on the rootfs,
because the inner overlayfs will eat all the whiteouts and overlay
xattrs. This means you can't e.g. store on the rootfs a prepared
container image for use with overlayfs.
This adds support for nesting of overlayfs mounts by escaping the
problematic features and unescaping them when exposing to the
overlayfs user.
- Add new mount options for appending lowerdirs
