From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> Hey everyone, I took the time to look at ksmbd last week and today. I performed various tests, read a bunch of code and discovered a few bugs that I addressed in this series. Most of them simply deal with the translation of ownership between samba ids and unix ids. The server client model makes it a bit harder to reason about things but in essence ksmbd behaves like a very simple shim sitting on top of the underlying filesystem and thus bares some _vague_ resemblance to overlayfs and other overlay-style filesystems. The crucial thing is that ksmbd calls into the lower filesystem to create and manage filesystem objects. This is inherently a tricky thing to get right as it essentially involves two-level thinking all of the time. The easiest conceptual model I came up with for me is that ksmbd is similar to a userspace process that calls into the filesystem. With this model in mind it becomes a lot clearer how ownership needs to be managed. I tried to reflect that thinking in the commit message explaining why what happens. Thanks!
