Enable unprivileged user namespace mounts of overlayfs. Overlayfs's permission model (*) ensures that the mounter itself cannot gain additional privileges by the act of creating an overlayfs mount. This feature request is coming from the "rootless" container crowd. (*) Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt#Permission model Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
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.
