X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7a18c0fff41ee60438ab2a1837d5b1a73ca2e2dd;p=linux.git Merge tag 'ovl-vfs-6.8' of ssh://gitolite./linux/kernel/git/overlayfs/vfs Pull backing file updates from Amir Goldstein: These patches essentially just lift some overlayfs code to common code. The motivation is to reuse common stacking code for the FUSE passthrough patches that I am shaping up for upstream. The FUSE passthrough work will be coming in over the next cycles. I have been testing those patches with my fuse-backing-fd development branch for quite some time and I think both you and Miklos gave a conceptual ACK to some version of this work. * tag 'ovl-vfs-6.8' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/overlayfs/vfs: fs: factor out backing_file_mmap() helper fs: factor out backing_file_splice_{read,write}() helpers fs: factor out backing_file_{read,write}_iter() helpers fs: prepare for stackable filesystems backing file helpers Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner --- 7a18c0fff41ee60438ab2a1837d5b1a73ca2e2dd
