Thanks for using my commit message!
One thing that I just remembered and which I think I haven't mentioned
so far is that moving S_ISGID stripping from filesystem callpaths into
the vfs callpaths means that we're hoisting this logic out of vfs_*()
helpers implicitly.
So filesystems that call vfs_*() helpers directly can't rely on S_ISGID
stripping being done in vfs_*() helpers anymore unless they pass the
mode on from a prior run through the vfs.
This mostly affects overlayfs which calls vfs_*() functions directly. So
a typical overlayfs callstack would be (roughly - I'm omw to lunch):
sys_mknod()
-> do_mknodat(mode) // calls vfs_prepare_mode()
-> .mknod = ovl_mknod(mode)
-> ovl_create(mode)
-> vfs_mknod(mode)
I think we are safe as overlayfs passes on the mode on from its own run
through the vfs and then via vfs_*() to the underlying filesystem but it
is worth point that out.
Ccing Amir just for confirmation.
