      This Epic is to track upstream work in the Storage SIG community

      This Epic is to track the SELinux specific work required. fsGroup work is not included here.

      Goal: 

      Continue contributing to and help move along the upstream efforts to enable recursive permissions functionality.

      Finish current SELinuxMountReadWriteOncePod feature upstream:

      • Implement it in all volume plugins (current alpha has just iSCSI and CSI
      • Add e2e test + fixing all tests that don't work well with SELinux
      • Implement necessary changes in volume reconstruction to reconstruct also SELinux context.

      The feature is probably going to stay alpha upstream.

      Problem: 

      Recursive permission change takes very long for fsGroup and SELinux. For volumes with many small files Kubernetes currently does a chown for every file on the volume (due to fsGroup). Similarly for container runtimes (such as CRI-O) a chcon of every file on the volume is performed due to SCC's SELinux context. Data on the volume may already have the correct GID/SELinux context so Kubernetes needs way to detect this automatically to avoid the long delay.

      Why is this important: 

      • A user wants to bring their pod online quickly and efficiently.
