Merge tag 'ovl-update-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/overlayfs/vfs

Pull overlayfs updates from Amir Goldstein:

 - Overlayfs aio cleanups and fixes

   Cleanups and minor fixes in preparation for factoring out of
   read/write passthrough code.

 - Overlayfs lock ordering changes

   Hold mnt_writers only throughout copy up instead of a long lived
   elevated refcount.

 - Add support for nesting overlayfs private xattrs

   There are cases where you want to use an overlayfs mount as a
   lowerdir for another overlayfs mount. For example, if the system
   rootfs is on overlayfs due to composefs, or to make it volatile (via
   tmpfs), then you cannot currently store a lowerdir on the rootfs,
   because the inner overlayfs will eat all the whiteouts and overlay
   xattrs. This means you can't e.g. store on the rootfs a prepared
   container image for use with overlayfs.

   This adds support for nesting of overlayfs mounts by escaping the
   problematic features and unescaping them when exposing to the
   overlayfs user.

 - Add new mount options for appending lowerdirs
