Linus,
Please pull the userns-for-v5.12 branch from the git tree:

HEAD: 95ebabde382c371572297915b104e55403674e73 capabilities: Don't allow writing ambiguous v3 file capabilities
There are several pieces of active development, but only a single change
made it through the gauntlet to be ready for v5.12. That change is
tightening up the semantics of the v3 capabilities xattr. It is just
short of being a bug-fix/security issue as no user space is known to
even generate the problem case.
A fix f2b00be48873 ("cap: fix conversions on getxattr") for v3 fscaps
has come in through the overlayfs tree for v5.11. It touches different
functions so it should be conflict free.

capabilities: Don't allow writing ambiguous v3 file capabilities
The v3 file capabilities have a uid field that records the filesystem
uid of the root user of the user namespace the file capabilities are
valid in.
When someone is silly enough to have the same underlying uid as the
root uid of multiple nested containers a v3 filesystem capability can
be ambiguous.
In the spirit of don't do that then, forbid writing a v3 filesystem
capability if it is ambiguous.
Fixes: 8db6c34f1dbc ("Introduce v3 namespaced file capabilities")
