From: Felix Fietkau Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 13:54:33 +0000 (+0000) Subject: kernel: add overlayfs stacking fix from upstream X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b9849f286b81ffb65208dd5f4bf6162efe1eca97;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fdangole.git kernel: add overlayfs stacking fix from upstream Overlayfs stacking was broken in 4.1.12 but now fixed in upstream branch. Stacking allows experimenting with configurations without the need to reset a device to factory config.
