Code Review
This pull request introduces a default SELinux context for readonly virtiofs mounts to resolve issues with container storage. The change is well-contained and also includes a function rename from generate_mount_unit to generate_virtiofs_mount_unit for better clarity. My review focuses on the hardcoded SELinux context, suggesting an improvement to make it more maintainable by using a constant. Overall, this is a good improvement.
Apply system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 context to readonly virtiofs mounts to avoid SELinux denials when accessing them as container storage. This allows readonly bind mounts to work correctly with podman. The function was renamed from generate_mount_unit to generate_virtiofs_mount_unit for clarity. Assisted-by: Claude Code (Sonnet 4.5) Signed-off-by: Colin Walters <[email protected]>
