Right now it seems ok, since the mnt_user_ns can't change, but if we ever allow it to change (and I see you have a idmapped_mounts_wip_v2_allow_to_change_idmapping branch on your public tree :D), the pattern of, user_ns = mnt_user_ns(path->mnt); if (mnt_idmapped(path->mnt)) { uid = kuid_from_mnt(user_ns, uid); gid = kgid_from_mnt(user_ns, gid); } could race.
