Hi Luis,

I still feel that it should probably be fixed in virtiofsd, given fuse client
is expecting file server to take care of any change of mode (file
permission bits).

I wrote a proof of concept patch and this should fix this. But it
drop CAP_FSETID always. So I will need to modify kernel to pass
this information to file server and that should properly fix
generic/375. 

Please have a look. This applies on top of fuse acl support V4 patches
I had posted. I have pushed all the patches on a temporary git branch
as well.

Subject: virtiofsd: Switch creds, drop FSETID for system.posix_acl_access xattr

When posix access acls are set on a file, it can lead to adjusting file
permissions (mode) as well. If caller does not have CAP_FSETID and it
also does not have membership of owner group, this will lead to clearing
SGID bit in mode.

Current fuse code is written in such a way that it expects file server
to take care of chaning file mode (permission), if there is a need.
Right now, host kernel does not clear SGID bit because virtiofsd is
running as root and has CAP_FSETID. For host kernel to clear SGID,
virtiofsd need to switch to gid of caller in guest and also drop
CAP_FSETID (if caller did not have it to begin with).

This is a proof of concept patch which switches to caller's uid/gid
and alwasys drops CAP_FSETID in lo_setxattr(system.posix_acl_access).
This should fix the xfstest generic/375 test case.

This patch is not complete yet. Kernel should pass information when
to drop CAP_FSETID and when not to. I will look into modifying
kernel to pass this information to file server.
