Hi Al,

Please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git for-viro

This fixes the deadlock introduced by making the suid removal actually work on
overlayfs.

Responsible commit 07a2daab49c5 ("ovl: Copy up underlying inode's ->i_mode to
overlay inode") unfortunately slipped through my testing and 4.7 was released
with this bug.

Two more patches are cleaning away unneeded exports of related helpers.

Thanks,
Miklos
