+ * fsopen() records the caller's user namespace in fc->user_ns and hands

+ * FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE need not be the one that created the context: the fd
+ * is inherited across fork() and exec() and it can be passed over a unix
+ * socket. vfs_cmd_create() authorizes the create with mount_capable(),
+ * which for FS_USERNS_MOUNT checks ns_capable(fc->user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN),
+ * and that succeeds for a task holding CAP_SYS_ADMIN in an ancestor of
+ * fc->user_ns.
+ *
+ * binfmt_misc and overlayfs used to WARN_ON() that mismatch, which let an
+ * unprivileged user taint the kernel, flood the log and panic a kernel
+ * booted with panic_on_warn. The mount must still be refused, but it must
+ * not warn.
