Now overlayfs allow unpriviliged mounts. That is root inside a non-init user namespace can mount overlayfs. This is being added in 5.11 kernel. Giuseppe tried to mount overlayfs with option "context" and it failed with error -EACCESS. $ su test $ unshare -rm $ mkdir -p lower upper work merged $ mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower,workdir=work,upperdir=upper,userxattr,context='system_u:object_r:container_file_t:s0' none merged This fails with -EACCESS. It works if option "-o context" is not specified. Little debugging showed that selinux_set_mnt_opts() returns -EACCESS. So this patch adds "overlay" to the list, where it is fine to specific context from non init_user_ns.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
