selinux: Allow context mounts for unpriviliged overlayfs
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.
