overlayfs -- the kernel's version, not fuse-overlayfs -- recently learned
(as of linux 5.16.0, I believe) how to support rootless users. Previously,
rootless users had to use these storage.conf(5) settings:
* storage.driver=vfs (aka STORAGE_DRIVER=vfs), or
* storage.driver=overlay (aka STORAGE_DRIVER=overlay),
storage.options.overlay.mount_program=/usr/bin/fuse-overlayfs
(aka STORAGE_OPTS=/usr/bin/fuse-overlayfs)
Now that a third backend is available, setting only:
* storage.driver=overlay (aka STORAGE_DRIVER=overlay)
https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/13123 reported EXDEV errors
during the normal operation of their container. Tracing it out, the
problem turned out to be that their container was being mounted without
'userxattr'; I don't fully understand why, but mount(8) mentions this is
needed for rootless users:
> userxattr
>
> Use the "user.overlay." xattr namespace instead of "trusted.overlay.".
> This is useful for unprivileged mounting of overlayfs.
https://github.com/containers/storage/pull/1156 found and fixed the issue
in podman, and this just pulls in that via
go get github.com/containers/storage@ebc90ab
go mod vendor
make vendor

For reasons buried in the history of Podman, looking up an untagged
image would match any tag of matching image. For instance, looking up
centos would match a local image centos:foobar. Change that behavior
to only match the latest tag.
