Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:
 "This contains two new features:

   - Stack file operations: this allows removal of several hacks from
     the VFS, proper interaction of read-only open files with copy-up,
     possibility to implement fs modifying ioctls properly, and others.

   - Metadata only copy-up: when file is on lower layer and only
     metadata is modified (except size) then only copy up the metadata
     and continue to use the data from the lower file"

Pull vfs open-related updates from Al Viro:

 - "do we need fput() or put_filp()" rules are gone - it's always fput()
   now. We keep track of that state where it belongs - in -&gt;f_mode.

 - int *opened mess killed - in finish_open(), in -&gt;atomic_open()
   instances and in fs/namei.c code around do_last()/lookup_open()/atomic_open().

 - alloc_file() wrappers with saner calling conventions are introduced
   (alloc_file_clone() and alloc_file_pseudo()); callers converted, with
   much simplification.

 - while we are at it, saner calling conventions for path_init() and
   link_path_walk(), simplifying things inside fs/namei.c (both on
   open-related paths and elsewhere).

* 'work.open3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (40 commits)
  few more cleanups of link_path_walk() callers
  allow link_path_walk() to take ERR_PTR()
  make path_init() unconditionally paired with terminate_walk()
  document alloc_file() changes
  make alloc_file() static
  do_shmat(): grab shp-&gt;shm_file earlier, switch to alloc_file_clone()

Opening regular files on overlayfs is now handled via ovl_open().  Remove

<title>Revert changes to convert to -&gt;poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL</title>

<id>a11e1d432b51f63ba698d044441284a661f01144</id>
<content type='text'>
The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"-&gt;poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"-&gt;get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead.  That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case.  The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
  individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy  - Linus ]
