Merge tag 'ovl-fixes-6.6-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/overlayfs/vfs

Pull overlayfs fixes from Amir Goldstein:

 - Various fixes for regressions due to conversion to new mount
   api in v6.5

 - Disable a new mount option syntax (append lowerdir) that was
   added in v6.5 because we plan to add a different lowerdir
   append syntax in v6.7

* tag 'ovl-fixes-6.6-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/overlayfs/vfs:
  ovl: temporarily disable appending lowedirs
  ovl: fix regression in showing lowerdir mount option
  ovl: fix regression in parsing of mount options with escaped comma
  fs: factor out vfs_parse_monolithic_sep() helper

 rightmost one and going left.  In the above example lower1 will be the
 top, lower2 the middle and lower3 the bottom layer.
 
+Note: directory names containing colons can be provided as lower layer by
+escaping the colons with a single backslash.  For example:
+
+  mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=/a\:lower\:\:dir /merged
+
+Since kernel version v6.5, directory names containing colons can also
+be provided as lower layer using the fsconfig syscall from new mount api:
+
+  fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", "/a:lower::dir", 0);
+
+In the latter case, colons in lower layer directory names will be escaped
+as an octal characters (\072) when displayed in /proc/self/mountinfo.
