From: "Christian Brauner (Microsoft)" <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> Hey everyone, This series starts to introduce a new kmnt{g,u}id_t type. It allows to distinguish {g,u}ids on idmapped mounts from filesystem k{g,u}ids. We leverage the type framework to increase the safety for filesystems and the vfs when dealing with idmapped mounts. The series introduces the type and converts the setattr codepaths to use the new type and associated helpers. Currently these codepaths place the value that will ultimately be written to inode->i_{g,u}id into attr->ia_{g,u}id which allows to avoid changing a few callsites. But there are drawbacks to this approach. As Linus rightly points out it makes some of the permission checks in the attribute code harder to understand than they need and should be and increases the probability for further issues. This series makes it so that the values will always be treated as being mapped into the idmapped mount. Only when the filesystem object is actually updated will the value be mapped into the filesystem idmapping. I first looked into this about ~7 months ago but put it on hold to focus on the testsuite. Linus expressed the desire for something like this last week so I got back to working on this. Ideally I'd like to get at least this first series in for v5.20. The conversion can the continue until we can remove all the regular non-type safe helpers and will only be left with the type safe helpers. Thanks!
