Miklos,

Thanks for the notice.
I think it is good practice to announce when #overlayfs-next is updated and
ask if anyone knows of a patch that fell under the chairs.
I see that other maintainers do that sometimes.

I am missing two of my patches that I wonder if you left out intentionally
or did not get to yet:

1. ovl: fix unneeded call to ovl_change_flags()

One month old posting, so maybe it skipped your radar.
Seems like an obvious fix and needed for stable too.

2. ovl: fix lookup of indexed hardlinks with metacopy

From yesterday, so perhaps you did not get to it yet.
v5.8-rc1 regression.

They are both pushed to my rebased ovl-fixes branch.

Thanks,
Amir.
