Dear friends, This patchset was originally developed by Christian Brauner but I'll continue to push it forward. Christian allowed me to do that :) This feature is already actively used/tested with LXD/LXC project. Git tree (based on https://github.com/ceph/ceph-client.git testing): v6: https://github.com/mihalicyn/linux/commits/fs.idmapped.ceph.v6 current: https://github.com/mihalicyn/linux/tree/fs.idmapped.ceph In the version 3 I've changed only two commits: - fs: export mnt_idmap_get/mnt_idmap_put - ceph: allow idmapped setattr inode op and added a new one: - ceph: pass idmap to __ceph_setattr In the version 4 I've reworked the ("ceph: stash idmapping in mdsc request") commit. Now we take idmap refcounter just in place where req->r_mnt_idmap is filled. It's more safer approach and prevents possible refcounter underflow on error paths where __register_request wasn't called but ceph_mdsc_release_request is called. Changelog for version 5: - a few commits were squashed into one (as suggested by Xiubo Li) - started passing an idmapping everywhere (if possible), so a caller UID/GID-s will be mapped almost everywhere (as suggested by Xiubo Li) Changelog for version 6: - rebased on top of testing branch - passed an idmapping in a few places (readdir, ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline) Note. There is a known issue that idmapped mounts are not fully compatible with MDS (server side) UID/GID-based path restriction, and full support of this requires massive VFS changes or Cephfs protocol change. Anyway, we've tested the first version of this patchset for more that a year with the container workloads and it works perfecly well and it seems that even with this limitation it worth adding support of idmapped mounts. I can confirm that this version passes xfstests.

Container managers such as LXD support sharaing data via cephfs between the host and unprivileged containers and between unprivileged containers. They may all use different idmappings. Idmapped mounts can be used to create mounts with the idmapping used for the container (or a different one specific to the use-case). There are in fact more use-cases such as remapping ownership for mountpoints on the host itself to grant or restrict access to different users or to make it possible to enforce that programs running as root will write with a non-zero {g,u}id to disk. The patch series is simple overall and few changes are needed to cephfs. There is one cephfs specific issue that I would like to discuss and solve which I explain in detail in: [PATCH 02/12] ceph: handle idmapped mounts in create_request_message() It has to do with how to handle mds serves which have id-based access restrictions configured. I would ask you to please take a look at the explanation in the aforementioned patch. The patch series passes the vfs and idmapped mount testsuite as part of xfstests. To run it you will need a config like: [ceph] export FSTYP=ceph export TEST_DIR=/mnt/test export TEST_DEV=10.103.182.10:6789:/ export TEST_FS_MOUNT_OPTS="-o name=admin,secret=$password and then simply call sudo ./check -g idmapped ======================================================================== Alexander Mikhalitsyn (6): fs: export mnt_idmap_get/mnt_idmap_put ceph: pass idmap to __ceph_setattr ceph: pass idmap to ceph_do_getattr ceph: pass idmap to __ceph_setxattr ceph: pass idmap to ceph_open/ioctl_set_layout/readdir ceph: pass idmap to ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline Christian Brauner (9): ceph: stash idmapping in mdsc request ceph: handle idmapped mounts in create_request_message() ceph: pass an idmapping to mknod/symlink/mkdir/rename ceph: allow idmapped getattr inode op ceph: allow idmapped permission inode op ceph: allow idmapped setattr inode op ceph/acl: allow idmapped set_acl inode op ceph/file: allow idmapped atomic_open inode op ceph: allow idmapped mounts fs/ceph/acl.c | 8 +++---- fs/ceph/addr.c | 15 +++++++++++- fs/ceph/caps.c | 10 ++++---- fs/ceph/crypto.c | 2 +- fs/ceph/dir.c | 6 +++++ fs/ceph/export.c | 2 +- fs/ceph/file.c | 28 ++++++++++++++++------ fs/ceph/inode.c | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++-------------- fs/ceph/ioctl.c | 9 +++++-- fs/ceph/mds_client.c | 27 +++++++++++++++++---- fs/ceph/mds_client.h | 1 + fs/ceph/quota.c | 2 +- fs/ceph/super.c | 6 ++--- fs/ceph/super.h | 21 ++++++++++------ fs/ceph/xattr.c | 18 +++++++------- fs/mnt_idmapping.c | 2 ++ include/linux/mnt_idmapping.h | 3 +++ 17 files changed, 144 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-) -- 2.34.1
