Using the old mount api to remount an overlayfs superblock via
mount(MS_REMOUNT) all mount options will be silently ignored. For
example, if you create an overlayfs mount:
mount -t overlay overlay -o lowerdir=/mnt/a:/mnt/b,upperdir=/mnt/upper,workdir=/mnt/work /mnt/merged
and then issue a remount via:
# force mount(8) to use mount(2)
export LIBMOUNT_FORCE_MOUNT2=always
mount -t overlay overlay -o remount,WOOTWOOT,lowerdir=/DOESNT-EXIST /mnt/merged
with completely nonsensical mount options whatsoever it will succeed
nonetheless. This prevents us from every changing any mount options we
might introduce in the future that could reasonably be changed during a
remount.
We don't need to carry this issue into the new mount api port. Similar
to FUSE we can use the fs_context::oldapi member to figure out that this
is a request coming through the legacy mount api. If we detect it we
continue silently ignoring all mount options.
But for the new mount api we simply report that mount options cannot
currently be changed. This will allow us to potentially alter mount
properties for new or even old properties. It any case, silently
ignoring everything is not something new apis should do.

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.
