Now overlayfs allow unpriviliged mounts. That is root inside a non-init
user namespace can mount overlayfs. This was added in 5.10 kernel.
Actually this is being added in 5.11 kernel (and not 5.10 kernel).

Paul, can you please fix this while committing. If you want me to
report, let me know.
Good to know, thanks for the clarification.  As far as updating the
commit description, while I generally prefer the patch author to make
changes (my personal opinion is that maintainers should have as light
a touch as possible outside the mechanical work of merging), this is
pretty minor and I can fix that up if you want.  Regardless, we've
likely got ~2.5 weeks before it really matters anyway :)
