SubjectRe: [PATCH 13/19] fs: Allow superblock owner to access do_remount_sb()
Quoting Seth Forshee (seth.forshee@canonical.com):
> Superblock level remounts are currently restricted to global
> CAP_SYS_ADMIN, as is the path for changing the root mount to
> read only on umount. Loosen both of these permission checks to
> also allow CAP_SYS_ADMIN in any namespace which is privileged
> towards the userns which originally mounted the filesystem.
