Sure, I remember about this point and as far as I mentioned earlier
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230519134420.2d04e5f70aad15679ab566fc@canonical.com/
It is a discussional thing, because not all the inode_operations
allows us to get a mount idmapping.

For instance,
lookup, get_link, get_inode_acl, readlink, link, unlink, rmdir,
listxattr, fiemap, update_time, fileattr_get
inode_operations are not provided with an idmapping.

atomic_open also lacks the mnt_idmap argument, but we have a struct
file so we can get an idmapping through it.

As far as I can see from the code:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ceph/ceph/main/src/mds/Server.cc
We have Server::check_access calls for all inode_operations, including
the lookup.

It means that with the current VFS we are not able to support MDS
UID/GID-based path restriction with idmapped mounts.
But we can return to it later if someone really wants it.

If I understand your idea right, you want me to set req->r_mnt_idmap
to an actual idmapping everywhere, where it is possible,
and ignore inode_operations where we have no idmapping passed?

Christian's approach was more conservative here, his idea was to pass
an idmapping only to the operations that are creating
some nodes on the filesystem, but pass a "nop_mnt_idmap" to everyone else.

So, I'll try to set up MDS UID/GID-based path restriction on my local
environment and reproduce the issue with it,
but as I mentioned earlier we can't support it right now anyway. But
as we already have an idmappings supported for most
of existing filesystems, having it supported for cephfs would be great
(even with this limitation about MDS UID/GID-based path restriction),
because we already have a real world use cases for cephfs idmapped
mounts and this particular patchset is used by LXD/LXC for more that a
year.
We can extend this later, if someone really wants to use this
combination and once we extend the VFS layer.

Sure, you mean commits that do `req->r_mnt_idmap =
mnt_idmap_get(idmap)`? Will do.

Big thanks for the fast reaction/review on this series, Xiubo!
