Merge tag 'ovl-fixes-6.6-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/overlayfs/vfs
Pull overlayfs fixes from Amir Goldstein: - Fix for file reference leak regression - Fix for NULL pointer deref regression - Fixes for RCU-walk race regressions: Two of the fixes were taken from Al's RCU pathwalk race fixes series with his consent [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.
