[ Upstream commit b10b85fe51 ]
When mounting overlayfs in an unprivileged user namespace, trusted xattr
creation will fail. This will lead to failures in some file operations,
e.g. in the following situation:
mkdir lower upper work merged
mkdir lower/directory
mount -toverlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work none merged
rmdir merged/directory
mkdir merged/directory
The last mkdir will fail:
mkdir: cannot create directory 'merged/directory': Input/output error
The cause for these failures is currently extremely non-obvious and hard to
debug. Hence, warn the user and suggest using the userxattr mount option,
if it is not already supplied and xattr creation fails during the
self-check.

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.
