Right, I had mentioned this in my pull request message to Linus. Until
yesterday, I had the conflict resolution against the overlayfs and NFS
trees in my y2038 tree and was waiting for both to get merged first
so I could send the pull request. NFS got merged earlier this week,
and when I looked at the mail thread about overlayfs, I concluded that
it wouldn't make it: the changes in the overlayfs tree in linux-next
are the version that got Nak'ed earlier, and the discussion about
trying to fix it ended without a positive conclusion.

This should be addressed as soon as Miklos rebases his changes on
top of 4.18-rc1 for the following merge window.
