From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxx>
The upcoming RWF_ENCODED operation introduces some security concerns:
1. Compressed writes will pass arbitrary data to decompression
algorithms in the kernel.
2. Compressed reads can leak truncated/hole punched data.
Therefore, we need to require privilege for RWF_ENCODED. It's not
possible to do the permissions checks at the time of the read or write
because, e.g., io_uring submits IO from a worker thread. So, add an open
flag which requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN. It can also be set and cleared with
fcntl(). The flag is not cleared in any way on fork or exec.
Note that the usual issue that unknown open flags are ignored doesn't
really matter for O_ALLOW_ENCODED; if the kernel doesn't support
O_ALLOW_ENCODED, then it doesn't support RWF_ENCODED, either.
