commit bd303368b776eead1c29e6cdda82bde7128b82a7 upstream.

In previous patches we added new and modified existing helpers to handle
idmapped mounts of filesystems mounted with an idmapping. In this final
patch we convert all relevant places in the vfs to actually pass the
filesystem's idmapping into these helpers.

With this the vfs is in shape to handle idmapped mounts of filesystems
mounted with an idmapping. Note that this is just the generic
infrastructure. Actually adding support for idmapped mounts to a
filesystem mountable with an idmapping is follow-up work.

In this patch we extend the definition of an idmapped mount from a mount
that that has the initial idmapping attached to it to a mount that has
an idmapping attached to it which is not the same as the idmapping the
filesystem was mounted with.

As before we do not allow the initial idmapping to be attached to a
mount. In addition this patch prevents that the idmapping the filesystem
was mounted with can be attached to a mount created based on this
filesystem.

This has multiple reasons and advantages. First, attaching the initial
idmapping or the filesystem's idmapping doesn't make much sense as in
both cases the values of the i_{g,u}id and other places where k{g,u}ids
are used do not change. Second, a user that really wants to do this for
whatever reason can just create a separate dedicated identical idmapping
to attach to the mount. Third, we can continue to use the initial
idmapping as an indicator that a mount is not idmapped allowing us to
continue to keep passing the initial idmapping into the mapping helpers
to tell them that something isn't an idmapped mount even if the
filesystem is mounted with an idmapping.

commit a1ec9040a2a9122605ac26e5725c6de019184419 upstream.

Since we'll be passing the filesystem's idmapping in even more places in
the following patches and we do already dereference struct inode to get
to the filesystem's idmapping multiple times add a tiny helper.

commit 209188ce75d0d357c292f6bb81d712acdd4e7db7 upstream.

Enable the mapped_fs{g,u}id() helpers to support filesystems mounted
with an idmapping. Apart from core mapping helpers that use
mapped_fs{g,u}id() to initialize struct inode's i_{g,u}id fields xfs is
the only place that uses these low-level helpers directly.

The patch only extends the helpers to be able to take the filesystem
idmapping into account. Since we don't actually yet pass the
filesystem's idmapping in no functional changes happen. This will happen
in a final patch.

<title>fs: account for filesystem mappings</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b20dcf603b8d0bb24a45c8e6cdd345e3fb3aa3d4</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1ac2a4104968e0a60b4b3572216a92aab5c1b025 upstream.

Currently we only support idmapped mounts for filesystems mounted
without an idmapping. This was a conscious decision mentioned in
multiple places (cf. e.g. [1]).

As explained at length in [3] it is perfectly fine to extend support for
idmapped mounts to filesystem's mounted with an idmapping should the
need arise. The need has been there for some time now. Various container
projects in userspace need this to run unprivileged and nested
unprivileged containers (cf. [2]).

Before we can port any filesystem that is mountable with an idmapping to
support idmapped mounts we need to first extend the mapping helpers to
account for the filesystem's idmapping. This again, is explained at
length in our documentation at [3] but I'll give an overview here again.

Currently, the low-level mapping helpers implement the remapping
algorithms described in [3] in a simplified manner. Because we could
rely on the fact that all filesystems supporting idmapped mounts are
mounted without an idmapping the translation step from or into the
filesystem idmapping could be skipped.

In order to support idmapped mounts of filesystem's mountable with an
idmapping the translation step we were able to skip before cannot be
skipped anymore. A filesystem mounted with an idmapping is very likely
to not use an identity mapping and will instead use a non-identity
mapping. So the translation step from or into the filesystem's idmapping
in the remapping algorithm cannot be skipped for such filesystems. More
details with examples can be found in [3].

This patch adds a few new and prepares some already existing low-level
mapping helpers to perform the full translation algorithm explained in
[3]. The low-level helpers can be written in a way that they only
perform the additional translation step when the filesystem is indeed
mounted with an idmapping.

If the low-level helpers detect that they are not dealing with an
idmapped mount they can simply return the relevant k{g,u}id unchanged;
no remapping needs to be performed at all. The no_idmapping() helper
detects whether the shortcut can be used.

If the low-level helpers detected that they are dealing with an idmapped
mount but the underlying filesystem is mounted without an idmapping we
can rely on the previous shorcut and can continue to skip the
translation step from or into the filesystem's idmapping.

These checks guarantee that only the minimal amount of work is
performed. As before, if idmapped mounts aren't used the low-level
helpers are idempotent and no work is performed at all.

This patch adds the helpers mapped_k{g,u}id_fs() and
mapped_k{g,u}id_user(). Following patches will port all places to
replace the old k{g,u}id_into_mnt() and k{g,u}id_from_mnt() with these
two new helpers. After the conversion is done k{g,u}id_into_mnt() and
k{g,u}id_from_mnt() will be removed. This also concludes the renaming of
the mapping helpers we started in [4]. Now, all mapping helpers will
started with the "mapped_" prefix making everything nice and consistent.

The mapped_k{g,u}id_fs() helpers replace the k{g,u}id_into_mnt()
helpers. They are to be used when k{g,u}ids are to be mapped from the
vfs, e.g. from from struct inode's i_{g,u}id.  Conversely, the
mapped_k{g,u}id_user() helpers replace the k{g,u}id_from_mnt() helpers.
They are to be used when k{g,u}ids are to be written to disk, e.g. when
entering from a system call to change ownership of a file.

This patch only introduces the helpers. It doesn't yet convert the
relevant places to account for filesystem mounted with an idmapping.

commit 476860b3eb4a50958243158861d5340066df5af2 upstream.

If the caller's fs{g,u}id aren't mapped in the mount's idmapping we can
return early and skip the check whether the mapped fs{g,u}id also have a
mapping in the filesystem's idmapping. If the fs{g,u}id aren't mapped in
the mount's idmapping they consequently can't be mapped in the
filesystem's idmapping. So there's no point in checking that.

commit a793d79ea3e041081cd7cbd8ee43d0b5e4914a2b upstream.

The low-level mapping helpers were so far crammed into fs.h. They are
out of place there. The fs.h header should just contain the higher-level
mapping helpers that interact directly with vfs objects such as struct
super_block or struct inode and not the bare mapping helpers. Similarly,
only vfs and specific fs code shall interact with low-level mapping
helpers. And so they won't be made accessible automatically through
regular {g,u}id helpers.

commit bb49e9e730c2906a958eee273a7819f401543d6c upstream.

Multiple places open-code the same check to determine whether a given
mount is idmapped. Introduce a simple helper function that can be used
instead. This allows us to get rid of the fragile open-coding. We will
later change the check that is used to determine whether a given mount
is idmapped. Introducing a helper allows us to do this in a single
place instead of doing it for multiple places.

commit e60feb445fce9e51c1558a6aa7faf9dd5ded533b upstream.

If you already have an inode and need to update the time on the inode
there is no way to do this properly.  Export this helper to allow file
systems to update time on the inode so the appropriate handler is
called, either -&gt;update_time or generic_update_time.
