Subject: [GIT PULL] fs mapping fixes

Hi Linus,

/* Summary */
This contains a simple fix for setattr. When determining the validity of the
attributes the ia_{g,u}id fields contain the value that will be written to
inode->i_{g,u}id. When the {g,u}id attribute of the file isn't altered and the
caller's fs{g,u}id matches the current {g,u}id attribute the attribute change
is allowed.

The value in ia_{g,u}id does already account for idmapped mounts and will have
taken the relevant idmapping into account. So in order to verify that the
{g,u}id attribute isn't changed we simple need to compare the ia_{g,u}id value
against the inode's i_{g,u}id value.

This only has any meaning for idmapped mounts as idmapping helpers are
idempotent without them. And for idmapped mounts this really only has a meaning
when circular idmappings are used, i.e. mappings where e.g. id 1000 is mapped
to id 1001 and id 1001 is mapped to id 1000. Such ciruclar mappings can e.g. be
useful when sharing the same home directory between multiple users at the same
time.

Before this patch we could end up denying legitimate attribute changes and
allowing invalid attribute changes when circular mappings are used. To even get
into this situation the caller must've been privileged both to create that
mapping and to create that idmapped mount.

This hasn't been seen in the wild anywhere but came up when expanding the
fstest suite during work on a series of hardening patches. All idmapped fstests
pass without any regressions and we're adding new tests to verify the behavior
of circular mappings.

The new tests can be found at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20211109145713.1868404-2-brauner@kernel.org
and will be included in fstests after this is merged.

(I've caught a solid winter flu so not very active this week but will try to
 keep an eye on this pr.)

  fs: handle circular mappings correctly (2021-11-17 09:26:09 +0100)

/* Testing */
All patches are based on v5.16-rc1 and have been sitting in linux-next (albeit
briefly). No build failures or warnings were observed. All old and new tests
and fstests are passing:
