commit c01638f5d919728f565bf8b5e0a6a159642df0d9 upstream.

Basically, the pjdfstests set the ownership of a file to 06555, and then
chowns it (as root) to a new uid/gid. Prior to commit a09f99eddef4 ("fuse:
fix killing s[ug]id in setattr"), fuse would send down a setattr with both
the uid/gid change and a new mode.  Now, it just sends down the uid/gid
change.

Technically this is NOTABUG, since POSIX doesn't _require_ that we clear
these bits for a privileged process, but Linux (wisely) has done that and I
think we don't want to change that behavior here.

This is caused by the use of should_remove_suid(), which will always return
0 when the process has CAP_FSETID.

In fact we really don't need to be calling should_remove_suid() at all,
since we've already been indicated that we should remove the suid, we just
don't want to use a (very) stale mode for that.

This patch should fix the above as well as simplify the logic.

commit a09f99eddef44035ec764075a37bace8181bec38 upstream.

Fuse allowed VFS to set mode in setattr in order to clear suid/sgid on
chown and truncate, and (since writeback_cache) write.  The problem with
this is that it'll potentially restore a stale mode.

The poper fix would be to let the filesystems do the suid/sgid clearing on
the relevant operations.  Possibly some are already doing it but there's no
way we can detect this.

So fix this by refreshing and recalculating the mode.  Do this only if
ATTR_KILL_S[UG]ID is set to not destroy performance for writes.  This is
still racy but the size of the window is reduced.

commit 5e2b8828ff3d79aca8c3a1730652758753205b61 upstream.

Without "default_permissions" the userspace filesystem's lookup operation
needs to perform the check for search permission on the directory.

If directory does not allow search for everyone (this is quite rare) then
userspace filesystem has to set entry timeout to zero to make sure
permissions are always performed.

Changing the mode bits of the directory should also invalidate the
(previously cached) dentry to make sure the next lookup will have a chance
of updating the timeout, if needed.

This changes the vfs dentry hashing to mix in the parent pointer at the
_beginning_ of the hash, rather than at the end.

That actually improves both the hash and the code generation, because we
can move more of the computation to the "static" part of the dcache
setup, and do less at lookup runtime.

It turns out that a lot of other hash users also really wanted to mix in
a base pointer as a 'salt' for the hash, and so the slightly extended
interface ends up working well for other cases too.

Users that want a string hash that is purely about the string pass in a
'salt' pointer of NULL.

We always mixed in the parent pointer into the dentry name hash, but we
did it late at lookup time.  It turns out that we can simplify that
lookup-time action by salting the hash with the parent pointer early
instead of late.

A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own
pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism.

Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the
NULL pointer as a no-salt.
