OK, I will verify that the SELinux submount fix rebased on top of vfs/work.mount in the way I suggested above passes the same testing (seliinux-testsuite + NFS crossmnt reproducer). I am now building two kernels (vfs/work.mount with and without the fix) to test. Let me know if there is anything more to do.
