Subject: [GIT PULL] overlayfs updates for 7.0
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 15:25:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260217132524.681374-1-amir73il@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi Linus,
Please pull overlayfs updates for 7.0 with a single functional
change.
This branch has been sitting in linux-next for a while and
it has gone through the usual overlayfs test routines.
The branch merges cleanly with master branch of the moment.
Thanks,
Amir.

ovl: relax requirement for uuid=off,index=on (2026-02-06 13:48:23 +0100)
----------------------------------------------------------------
overlayfs updates for 7.0:
The semantics of uuid=off were relaxed to cater a use case of overlayfs
lower layers on btrfs clones, whose UUID are ephemeral and an upper layer
on a different filesystem.
