Yeah, I'm confused. We want the fs {g,u}id to be consistent throughout
the request pipeline and to reflect the actual Ceph user all the way
through the server-side pipeline. What if client.greg is only
authorized to work as uid 12345 and access /users/greg/; why would you
send in a bunch of requests as root just because I mounted that way
inside my own space?
This might be more obvious in the userspace Client, which is already
set up to be friendlier to mapped users for Ganesha etc:
mknod (https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/client/Client.cc#L7297)
and similar calls receive a "UserPerm" from the caller specifying who
the call should be performed as, and they pass that in to the generic
make_requst() function
(https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/client/Client.cc#L1778)
which uses it to set the uid and gid fields you found in the message.
