Specifying layers via file descriptors
--------------------------------------
Since kernel v6.13, overlayfs supports specifying layers via file descriptors in
addition to specifying them as paths. This feature is available for the
"datadir+", "lowerdir+", "upperdir", and "workdir+" mount options with the
fsconfig syscall from the new mount api::
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "lowerdir+", NULL, fd_lower1);
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "lowerdir+", NULL, fd_lower2);
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "lowerdir+", NULL, fd_lower3);
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "datadir+", NULL, fd_data1);
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "datadir+", NULL, fd_data2);
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "workdir", NULL, fd_work);
fsconfig(fs_fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "upperdir", NULL, fd_upper);
fs-verity support
