The following feature gates control the behavior of SELinux volume relabeling

SELinuxMountReadWriteOncePod: enables the optimization for volumes with accessModes: ["ReadWriteOncePod"]. This is a very safe feature gate to enable, as it cannot happen that two pods can share one single volume with this access mode. This feature gate is enabled by default since 1.28 and is GA in 1.36. SELinuxChangePolicy: enables spec.securityContext.seLinuxChangePolicy field in Pod and related SELinuxWarningController in kube-controller-manager. This feature can be used before enabling SELinuxMount to check Pods running on a cluster, and to pro-actively opt-out Pods from the optimization. This feature gate requires SELinuxMountReadWriteOncePod enabled. It is beta and enabled by default since 1.33 and GA in 1.36. SELinuxMount enables the optimization for all eligible volumes. Since it can break existing workloads, we recommend enabling SELinuxChangePolicy feature gate + SELinuxWarningController first to check the impact of the change. This feature gate requires SELinuxMountReadWriteOncePod and SELinuxChangePolicy enabled. It is beta, but disabled by default in 1.33.
