In several patches work has been done to enable NFSv4 to use user
namespaces: 58002399da65: NFSv4: Convert the NFS client idmapper to use the
container user namespace 3b7eb5e35d0f: NFS: When mounting, don't share
filesystems between different user namespaces
Unfortunately, the userspace APIs were only such that the userspace facing side of the
filesystem (superblock s_user_ns) could be set to a non init user namespace. This furthers
the fs_context related refactoring, and piggybacks on top of that logic, so the superblock
user namespace, and the NFS user namespace are the same.
This change only allows those users whom are not using ID mapping to use user namespaces
because the upcall mechanism still needs to be made fully namespace aware. Currently,
it is only network namespace aware (and this patch doesn't impede that behaviour).
Also, there is currently a limitation that enabling / disabling ID mapping can only
be done on a machine-wide basis.
Eventually, we will need to at least:
* Separate out the keyring cache by namespace
* Come up with an upcall mechanism that can be triggered inside of the container,
or safely triggered outside, with the requisite context to do the right mapping.
* Handle whatever refactoring needs to be done in net/sunrpc.
