Which branch is this works based on?
I don't see any out label in current code.

Please add same test in ovl_can_decode_fh().

Problem: none of the ovl_export_operations functions override creds.
I guess things are working now because nfsd is privileged enough.
IOW, the capability check you added doesn't check mounter creds
when coming from nfs export ops - I guess that is not what you want
although you probably don'r enable nfs export.

Thanks,
Amir.
