I don't know that this reasoning suffice to skip the sepolicy checks
for overlayfs private xattrs.
Can't sepolicy be defined to allow get access to trusted.overlay.*?

When introducing a new ovl_ => vfs_ wrapper, please follow the
ovl_do_XXX helpers
convention in overlayfs.h.
Note that those wrappers do not generally bypass security checks and
you have not
convinced me yet that skipping security checks on the overlayfs
private xattr get
is the right thing to do.
Thanks,
Amir.
