Merge tag 'fs.idmapped.overlay.acl.v5.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull acl updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we introduced support for mounting overlayfs on top of
idmapped mounts. While looking into additional testing we realized
that posix acls don't really work correctly with stacking filesystems
on top of idmapped layers.
We already knew what the fix were but it would require work that is
more suitable for the merge window so we turned off posix acls for
v5.19 for overlayfs on top of idmapped layers with Miklos routing my
patch upstream in 72a8e05d4f66 ("Merge tag 'ovl-fixes-5.19-rc7' [..]").
This contains the work to support posix acls for overlayfs on top of
idmapped layers. Since the posix acl fixes should use the new
vfs{g,u}id_t work the associated branch has been merged in. (We sent a
pull request for this earlier.)
We've also pulled in Miklos pull request containing my patch to turn
of posix acls on top of idmapped layers. This allowed us to avoid
rebasing the branch which we didn't like because we were already at
rc7 by then. Merging it in allows this branch to first fix posix acls
and then to cleanly revert the temporary fix it brought in by commit
4a47c6385bb4 ("ovl: turn of SB_POSIXACL with idmapped layers
temporarily").
The last patch in this series adds Seth Forshee as a co-maintainer for
idmapped mounts. Seth has been integral to all of this work and is
also the main architect behind the filesystem idmapping work which
ultimately made filesystems such as FUSE and overlayfs available in
containers. He continues to be active in both development and review.
I'm very happy he decided to help and he has my full trust. This
increases the bus factor which is always great for work like this. I'm
honestly very excited about this because I think in general we don't
do great in the bringing on new maintainers department"
