Ah...  I suspect the issue is that smack_sb_eat_lsm_opts() strips the prefix
for an unconverted filesystem, but smack_fs_context_parse_param() doesn't
(which it shouldn't).

Can you try grabbing my mount-api-viro branch from:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git

and testing setting smack options on a tmpfs filesystem?

You might need to try modifying samples/vfs/test-fsmount.c to make it mount a
trmpfs filesystem through the new mount UAPI.
