Merge branch 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs
Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi: "The meat of this is a change to use the mounter's credentials for operations that require elevated privileges (such as whiteout creation). This fixes behavior under user namespaces as well as being a nice cleanup" * 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs: ovl: Do d_type check only if work dir creation was successful ovl: update documentation ovl: override creds with the ones from the superblock mounter
