Hi Linus,

Could you consider this urgent fix for 6.19-rc5?

Actually upstream commit d53cd891f0e4 ("erofs: limit the level of fs
stacking for file-backed mounts") causes composefs regressions since
EROFS + ovl^2 cannot be mounted properly anymore and we all agree to
land this band-aid fix as the first step.

The more backgound details are shown in the commit message.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
