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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
