In user namespace the whiteout creation fails with -EPERM because the
current process isn't capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) when setting xattr.
A simple reproducer:
$ mkdir upper lower work merged lower/dir
$ sudo mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merged
$ unshare -m -p -f -U -r bash
Now as root in the user namespace:
\# touch merged/dir/{1,2,3} # this will force a copy up of lower/dir
\# rm -fR merged/*
This ends up failing with -EPERM after the files in dir has been
correctly deleted:
unlinkat(4, "2", 0) = 0
unlinkat(4, "1", 0) = 0
unlinkat(4, "3", 0) = 0
close(4) = 0
unlinkat(AT_FDCWD, "merged/dir", AT_REMOVEDIR) = -1 EPERM (Operation not
permitted)
Interestingly, if you don't place files in merged/dir you can remove it,
meaning if upper/dir does not exist, creating the char device file works
properly in that same location.
This patch uses ovl_sb_creator_cred() to get the cred struct from the
superblock mounter and override the old cred with these new ones so
that the whiteout creation is possible because overlay is wrong in
assuming that the creds it will get with prepare_creds will be in the
initial user namespace.
The old cap_raise game is removed in favor of just overriding the old
cred struct.
This patch also drops from ovl_copy_up_one() the following two lines:
override_cred->fsuid = stat->uid;
override_cred->fsgid = stat->gid;
This is because the correct uid and gid are taken directly with the
stat struct and correctly set with ovl_set_attr().
