Subject: [GIT PULL] overlayfs update for 4.12

Hi Linus,

Please pull from:

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

The biggest part of this is making st_dev/st_ino on the overlay behave like a
normal filesystem (i.e. st_ino doesn't change on copy up, st_dev is the same for
all files and directories).  Currently this only works if all layers are on the
same filesystem, but future work will move the general case towards more sane
behavior.

There are also miscellaneous fixes, including fixes to handling append-only
files.  There's a small change in the VFS, but that only has an effect on
overlayfs, since otherwise file->f_path.dentry->inode and file_inode(file) are
always the same.

Thanks,
Miklos
