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

<sigh> I can only truly test this on 4.14 (android's current top of tree) and on Hikey with that. Lack of due diligence for Top of Linux.

Please add same test in ovl_can_decode_fh().

Ahhhh
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.
NFS export/import blocked on Android devices.
Thanks,
Amir.
