Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner:
 "This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some
  time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or
  directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes
  with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more
  filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and
  maintainers.

  Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here
  are just a few:

   - Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between
     multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex
     scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the
     implementation of portable home directories in
     systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home
     directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple
     computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This
     effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at
     login time.

   - It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged
     containers without having to change ownership permanently through
     chown(2).

   - It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to
     mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the
     user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their
     Linux subsystem.

   - It is possible to share files between containers with
     non-overlapping idmappings.

   - Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can
     use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC)
     permission checking.

   - They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount
     basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In
     contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is
     instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when
     ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or
     container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall
     mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of
     all files.

   - Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as
     idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped
     to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself
     take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It
     simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is
     especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of
     files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home
     directory and container and vm scenario.

   - Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it
     to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only
     apply as long as the mount exists.

  Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and
  pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull
  this:

   - systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away
     in their implementation of portable home directories.

         https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/

   - container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between
     host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged
     containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in
     containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite
     a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734

   - The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest
     in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is
     ported.

   - ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers.

  I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed
  here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the
  mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of
  talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones:

      https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdf
      https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/

  This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and
  xfs:

      https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts

  It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid
  execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and
  non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs
  setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will
  be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to
  merge this.

  In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with
  user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to
  map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
  By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace.
  The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not
  idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the
  testsuite.

  Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
  and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
  the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
  introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
  the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users
  to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
  whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
  currently marked with.

  The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by
  passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an
  argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new
  MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern
  of extensibility.

  The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped
  mount:

   - The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the
     user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in.

   - The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts.

   - The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the
     idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped.

   - The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have
     been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag
     and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem.

  The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the
  kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler.

  By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no
  behavioral or performance changes are observed.

  The manpage with a detailed description can be found here:

      https://git.kernel.org/brauner/man-pages/c/1d7b902e2875a1ff342e036a9f866a995640aea8

  In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed
  and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The
  patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or
  complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and
  xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and
  will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify
  that port has been done correctly.

  The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped
  mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most
  valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform
  mounts based on file descriptors only.

  Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2()
  RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time
  we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and
  path resolution.

  While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount
  proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not
  possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in
  the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing.

  With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last
  restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api,
  covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the
  crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount
  tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This
  syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and
  projects.

  There is a simple tool available at

      https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped

  that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this
  patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you
  decide to pull this in the following weeks:

  Here's an example to a simple idmapped mount of another user's home

Enable idmapped mounts for ext4. All dedicated helpers we need for this
exist. So this basically just means we're passing down the
user_namespace argument from the VFS methods to the relevant helpers.

Let's create simple example where we idmap an ext4 filesystem:

 root@f2-vm:~# truncate -s 5G ext4.img

 root@f2-vm:~# mkfs.ext4 ./ext4.img
 mke2fs 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020)
 Discarding device blocks: done
 Creating filesystem with 1310720 4k blocks and 327680 inodes
 Filesystem UUID: 3fd91794-c6ca-4b0f-9964-289a000919cf
 Superblock backups stored on blocks:
         32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736

 Allocating group tables: done
 Writing inode tables: done
 Creating journal (16384 blocks): done
 Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

 root@f2-vm:~# losetup -f --show ./ext4.img
 /dev/loop0

 root@f2-vm:~# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt

Let's create another example where we idmap the rootfs filesystem
without a mapping for uid 0 and gid 0:

 # Create an idmapped mount of for a full POSIX range of rootfs under
 # /mnt but without a mapping for uid 0 to reduce attack surface

 root@f2-vm:/# ./mount-idmapped --map-mount b:1:1:65536 / /mnt/

 # Since we don't have a mapping for uid and gid 0 all files owned by
 # uid and gid 0 should show up as uid and gid 65534:

<title>inode: make init and permission helpers idmapped mount aware</title>

The inode_owner_or_capable() helper determines whether the caller is the
owner of the inode or is capable with respect to that inode. Allow it to
handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped
mount it according to the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks
are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is
passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical
behavior as before.

Similarly, allow the inode_init_owner() helper to handle idmapped
mounts. It initializes a new inode on idmapped mounts by mapping the
fsuid and fsgid of the caller from the mount's user namespace. If the
initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts
will see identical behavior as before.

 "The siginificant new ext4 feature this time around is Harshad's new
  fast_commit mode.

  In addition, thanks to Mauricio for fixing a race where mmap'ed pages
  that are being changed in parallel with a data=journal transaction
  commit could result in bad checksums in the failure that could cause
  journal replays to fail.

  Also notable is Ritesh's buffered write optimization which can result
  in significant improvements on parallel write workloads. (The kernel

<title>ext4: fast commit recovery path</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds fast commit recovery path support for Ext4 file
system. We add several helper functions that are similar in spirit to
e2fsprogs journal recovery path handlers. Example of such functions
include - a simple block allocator, idempotent block bitmap update
function etc. Using these routines and the fast commit log in the fast
commit area, the recovery path (ext4_fc_replay()) performs fast commit
log recovery.

<title>ext4: clear buffer verified flag if read meta block from disk</title>

The metadata buffer is no longer trusted after we read it from disk
again because it is not uptodate for some reasons (e.g. failed to write
back). Otherwise we may get below memory corruption problem in
ext4_ext_split()-&gt;memset() if we read stale data from the newly
allocated extent block on disk which has been failed to async write
out but miss verify again since the verified bit has already been set
on the buffer.

<title>ext4: use fscrypt_prepare_new_inode() and fscrypt_set_context()</title>

<id>02ce5316afc86274c55c7b07a81ad6411d28f077</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert ext4 to use the new functions fscrypt_prepare_new_inode() and
fscrypt_set_context().  This avoids calling
fscrypt_get_encryption_info() from within a transaction, which can
deadlock because fscrypt_get_encryption_info() isn't GFP_NOFS-safe.

For more details about this problem, see the earlier patch
"fscrypt: add fscrypt_prepare_new_inode() and fscrypt_set_context()".

<title>ext4: factor out ext4_xattr_credits_for_new_inode()</title>

To compute a new inode's xattr credits, we need to know whether the
inode will be encrypted or not.  When we switch to use the new helper
function fscrypt_prepare_new_inode(), we won't find out whether the
inode will be encrypted until slightly later than is currently the case.
That will require moving the code block that computes the xattr credits.

To make this easier and reduce the length of __ext4_new_inode(), move
this code block into a new function ext4_xattr_credits_for_new_inode().
