When a new file is created on a FS which supports security namespace but 
the FS is mounted using context= option, then what will be the context 
of the newly created file on the FS?

I did exactly this, and next, umount and then mount the FS readonly to 
get the getfattr dump to realize the security namespace is not empty 
(this came as a surprise).

So, can someone explain what exactly happens in this case?

Thanks.
