Olga Kornievskaia ec1ade6a04 nfs: account for selinux security context when deciding to share superblock
Keep track of whether or not there were LSM security context
options passed during mount (ie creation of the superblock).
Then, while deciding if the superblock can be shared for the new
mount, check if the newly passed in LSM security context options
are compatible with the existing superblock's ones by calling
security_sb_mnt_opts_compat().

Previously, with selinux enabled, NFS wasn't able to do the
following 2mounts:
mount -o vers=4.2,sec=sys,context=system_u:object_r:root_t:s0
<serverip>:/ /mnt
mount -o vers=4.2,sec=sys,context=system_u:object_r:swapfile_t:s0
<serverip>:/scratch /scratch

2nd mount would fail with "mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was
specified" and var log messages would have:
"SElinux: mount invalid. Same superblock, different security
settings for.."

README

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.
