[PATCH v2 07/39] mount: attach mappings to mounts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts will be marked with user
namespaces. The idmapping associated with that user namespace will be used to
map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
By default all vfsmounts will be marked with the initial user namespace. The
initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not idmapped. All
operations behave as before and no performance impact is seen.

Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace and not
just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all the helpers that
already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of introducing a whole new
range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in the future that we are confident
enough to enable unprivileged user to setup idmapped mounts we can allow
already idmapped mounts to be marked with another user namespace. For now, we
will enforce in later patches that once a mount has been idmapped it can't be
remapped. This keeps permission checking and life-cycle management simple
especially since users can always create a new mount with a different idmapping
anyway.

The idea to attach user namespaces to vfsmounts has been floated around in
various forms at Linux Plumbers in ~2018 with the original idea being tracing
back to a discussion during a conference in St. Petersburg between Christoph,
Tycho, and myself.
