Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Initial support for user namespace owned mounts

These are the first in a larger set of patches that I've been working on
(with help from Eric Biederman) to support mounting ext4 and fuse
filesystems from within user namespaces. I've pushed the full series to:

  git://kernel.ubuntu.com/sforshee/linux.git userns-mounts

Taking the series as a whole, the strategy is to handle as much of the
heavy lifting as possible in the vfs so the filesystems don't have to
handle weird edge cases. If you look at the full series you'll find that
the changes in ext4 to support user namespace mounts turn out to be
fairly minimal (fuse is a bit more complicated though as it must deal
with translating ids for a userspace process which is running in pid and
user namespaces).

The patches I'm sending today lay some of the groundwork in the vfs and
related code. They fall into two broad groups:

 1. Patches 1-2 add s_user_ns and simplify MNT_NODEV handling. These are
    pretty straightforward, and Eric has expressed interest in merging
    these patches soon. Note that patch 2 won't apply cleanly without
    Eric's noexec patches for proc and sys [1].

 2. Patches 2-7 tighten down security for mounts with s_user_ns !=
    &init_user_ns. This includes updates to how file caps and suid are
    handled and LSM updates to ignore security labels on superblocks
    from non-init namespaces.

    The LSM changes in particular may not be optimal, as I don't have a
    lot of familiarity with this code, so I'd be especially appreciative
    of review of these changes and suggestions on how to improve them.

Subsequent patches will update the vfs for id translation, handling
various corner cases, giving privileges to the user namsepace which owns
a superblock, and finally supporting user namespace mounts for ext4 and
fuse.

Thanks,
Seth
