hostfs creates a new inode for each opened or created file, which created

Fix this uncommon filesystem behavior by tying kernel inodes to host
file's inode and device IDs.  Even if the host filesystem inodes may be
recycled, this cannot happen while a file referencing it is open, which
is the case with hostfs.  It should be noted that hostfs inode IDs may
not be unique for the same hostfs superblock because multiple host's
(backed) superblocks may be used.

I hoped that this patch solved an issue when testing the
inode_setsecurity and inode_getsecurity combination. Unfortunately, it
does not work, since after inode_setsecurity the inode is dropped. At
the time inode_getsecurity is called, the security blob is lost.

Indeed, this is because inode[sg]etsecurity() rely on inode's xattr, which are not handled by hostfs. Why not simply use overlayfs with an upper tmpfs that supports xattr? This patch might be needed to such scenario though.



Roberto

Delete inodes when dropping them to force backed host's file descriptors
closing.

This enables to entirely remove ARCH_EPHEMERAL_INODES, and then makes
Landlock fully supported by UML.  This is very useful for testing
(ongoing and backported) changes.

These changes also factor out and simplify some helpers thanks to the
new hostfs_inode_update() and the hostfs_iget() revamp: read_name(),
hostfs_create(), hostfs_lookup(), hostfs_mknod(), and
hostfs_fill_sb_common().

A following commit with new Landlock tests check this new hostfs inode
consistency.
