overlayfs update for 4.2
Hi Linus,
Please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git overlayfs-next
This relaxes the requirements on the lower layer filesystem: now ones that implement .d_revalidate, such as NFS, can be used. Upper layer filesystems still has the "no .d_revalidate" requirement. Also a bad interaction with jffs2 locking has been fixed.
Thanks,
Miklos
