Some overlayfs features require permission to read/write trusted.* xattrs. These include redirect_dir, verity, metacopy, and data-only layers. This patch adds additional validations at mount time to stop overlays from mounting in certain cases where the resulting mount would not function according to the user's expectations because they lack permission to access trusted.* xattrs (for example, not global root.) Similar checks in ovl_make_workdir() that disable features instead of failing are still relevant and used in cases where the resulting mount can still work "reasonably well." Generally, if the feature was enabled through kernel config or module option, any mount that worked before will still work the same; this applies to redirect_dir and metacopy. The user must explicitly request these features in order to generate a mount failure. Verity and data-only layers on the other hand must be explictly requested and have no "reasonable" disabled or degraded alternative, so mounts attempting either always fail. "lower data-only dirs require metacopy support" moved down in case userxattr is set, which disables metacopy.

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 reStructuredText 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.
