+From 9f0fe583ffc5116584d8c4800a7fa28bb4ff9b09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] unionfs: update unionfs fork to align with mainline
+
+mainline commit 0145acc [vfs: uninline full_name_hash] changes the
+interface to full_name_hash, so unionfs fork must be updated.
+Otherwise unionfs might have the odd behavior that newly created
+directories/files in unionfs won't show up in underlying fs properly.
+
+This also implies that 0145acc fixes the corner issue/regression that
+introduced by mainline commit bfcfaa7 [vfs: use 'unsigned long'
+accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing] and e419b4c [vfs:
+make word-at-a-time accesses handle a non-existing page], that newly
+adopted fast hash function might have hash collision issue on x86.
