[GIT PULL] overlayfs fixes for 6.6-rc5

[Amir Goldstein]

Hi Linus,

Please pull overlayfs fixes for 6.6-rc5.

This branch has been sitting in linux-next for a couple of days and
it has gone through the usual overlayfs test routines.

The branch merges cleanly with master branch of the moment.

Thanks,
Amir.

  ovl: fix NULL pointer defer when encoding non-decodable lower fid (2023-10-03 09:24:11 +0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
overlayfs fixes for 6.6-rc5:

- Fix for file reference leak regression from v6.6-rc2

- Fix for NULL pointer deref regression from v6.6-rc1

- Fixes for RCU-walk race regressions from v6.5:

   Two of the fixes were taken from Al's RCU pathwalk race fixes series
   with his concent [1].

   Note that unlike most of Al's series, these two patches are not about
   racing with ->kill_sb() and they are also very recent regressions from
   v6.5, so I think it's worth getting them into v6.5.y.

   There is also a fix for an RCU pathwalk race with ->kill_sb(), which
   may have been solved in vfs generic code as you suggested, but it also
   rids overlayfs from a nasty hack, so I think it's worth anyway.
