If supported, the runtime MUST return an error if this option is provided and either of `uidMappings` or `gidMappings` are empty or not present.
- `ridmap`         | SHOULD      | Indicates that the mount has `uidMappings` and `gidMappings` specified, and the mapping is applied recursively [^3]. This option SHOULD NOT be passed to the underlying [`mount(2)`][mount.2] call.

+ `idmap`          | SHOULD      | Indicates that the mount MUST have an idmapping applied. This option SHOULD NOT be passed to the underlying [`mount(2)`][mount.2] call. If `uidMappings` or `gidMappings` are specified for the mount, the runtime MUST use those values for the mount's mapping. If they are not specified, the runtime MAY use the container's user namespace mapping, otherwise an [error MUST be returned](runtime.md#errors).  If there are no `uidMappings` and `gidMappings` specified and the container isn't using user namespaces, an [error MUST be returned](runtime.md#errors). This SHOULD be implemented using [`mount_setattr(MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP)`][mount_setattr.2], available since Linux 5.12.
