804382d59b Merge tag 'vfs-6.15-rc1.overlayfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs overlayfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Currently overlayfs uses the mounter's credentials for its
  override_creds() calls. That provides a consistent permission model.

  This patches allows a caller to instruct overlayfs to use its
  credentials instead. The caller must be located in the same user
  namespace hierarchy as the user namespace the overlayfs instance will
  be mounted in. This provides a consistent and simple security model.

  With this it is possible to e.g., mount an overlayfs instance where
  the mounter must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN but the credentials used for
  override_creds() have dropped CAP_SYS_ADMIN. It also allows the usage
  of custom fs{g,u}id different from the callers and other tweaks"
