From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> We currently don't have any filesystems that support idmapped mounts which are mountable inside a user namespace. That was a deliberate decision for now as a userns root can just mount the filesystem themselves. So enforce this restriction explicitly until there's a real use-case for this. This way we can notice it and will have a chance to adapt and audit our translation helpers and fstests appropriately if we need to support such filesystems.
