Subject: [GIT PULL] overlayfs update for 4.2

Hi Linus,

Please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git overlayfs-next

This relaxes the requirements on the lower layer filesystem: now ones that
implement .d_revalidate, such as NFS, can be used.  Upper layer filesystems
still has the "no .d_revalidate" requirement.  Also a bad interaction with jffs2
locking has been fixed.

Thanks,
Miklos

      ovl: don't traverse automount points
      ovl: allow distributed fs as lower layer
      ovl: lookup whiteouts outside iterate_dir()
