From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 4f11ada10d0ad3fd53e2bd67806351de63a4f9c3 upstream. If st_uid/st_gid doesn't have a mapping in the mounter's user_ns, then copy-up should fail, just like it would fail if the mounter task was doing the copy using "cp -a". There's a corner case where the "cp -a" would succeed but copy up fail: if there's a mapping of the invalid uid/gid (65534 by default) in the user namespace. This is because stat(2) will return this value if the mapping doesn't exist in the current user_ns and "cp -a" will in turn be able to create a file with this uid/gid. This behavior would be inconsistent with POSIX ACL's, which return -1 for invalid uid/gid which result in a failed copy. For consistency and simplicity fail the copy of the st_uid/st_gid are invalid.
