Greg,

These are backports of two overlayfs fixes from ovl-fixes-7.3 that
failed to apply to the 6.6 and 6.1 stable trees:

  65bf000962a3 ("ovl: take a snapshot of the name for copy up")
  4f61ff2ebfb3 ("ovl: use the pinned upper dir in ovl_fix_origin()")

The same backports are expected to apply cleanly to 6.6 and 6.1, so
please apply this series to both trees. The upstream commits are
already queued for 6.18 and 6.12.

The patches do not depend on each other and can be applied in any order.

Thanks,
Amir.
