Pull user namespace related fixes from Eric Biederman:
 "As these are bug fixes almost all of thes changes are marked for
  backporting to stable.

  The first change (implicitly adding MNT_NODEV on remount) addresses a
  regression that was created when security issues with unprivileged
  remount were closed.  I go on to update the remount test to make it
  easy to detect if this issue reoccurs.

  Then there are a handful of mount and umount related fixes.

  Then half of the changes deal with the a recently discovered design
  bug in the permission checks of gid_map.  Unix since the beginning has
  allowed setting group permissions on files to less than the user and
  other permissions (aka ---rwx---rwx).  As the unix permission checks
  stop as soon as a group matches, and setgroups allows setting groups
  that can not later be dropped, results in a situtation where it is
  possible to legitimately use a group to assign fewer privileges to a
  process.  Which means dropping a group can increase a processes
  privileges.

  The fix I have adopted is that gid_map is now no longer writable
  without privilege unless the new file /proc/self/setgroups has been
  set to permanently disable setgroups.

  The bulk of user namespace using applications even the applications
  using applications using user namespaces without privilege remain
  unaffected by this change.  Unfortunately this ix breaks a couple user
  space applications, that were relying on the problematic behavior (one
  of which was tools/selftests/mount/unprivileged-remount-test.c).

  To hopefully prevent needing a regression fix on top of my security
  fix I rounded folks who work with the container implementations mostly
  like to be affected and encouraged them to test the changes.

    &gt; So far nothing broke on my libvirt-lxc test bed. :-)
    &gt; Tested with openSUSE 13.2 and libvirt 1.2.9.
    &gt; Tested-by: Richard Weinberger &lt;richard@nod.at&gt;

    &gt; Tested on Fedora20 with libvirt 1.2.11, works fine.

    &gt; Ok, thanks - yes, unprivileged lxc is working fine with your kernels.
    &gt; Just to be sure I was testing the right thing I also tested using
    &gt; my unprivileged nsexec testcases, and they failed on setgroup/setgid
    &gt; as now expected, and succeeded there without your patches.

<title>userns: Add a knob to disable setgroups on a per user namespace basis</title>

- Expose the knob to user space through a proc file /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/setgroups

  A value of "deny" means the setgroups system call is disabled in the
  current processes user namespace and can not be enabled in the
  future in this user namespace.

  A value of "allow" means the segtoups system call is enabled.

- Descendant user namespaces inherit the value of setgroups from
  their parents.

- A proc file is used (instead of a sysctl) as sysctls currently do
  not allow checking the permissions at open time.

- Writing to the proc file is restricted to before the gid_map
  for the user namespace is set.

  This ensures that disabling setgroups at a user namespace
  level will never remove the ability to call setgroups
  from a process that already has that ability.

  A process may opt in to the setgroups disable for itself by
  creating, entering and configuring a user namespace or by calling
  setns on an existing user namespace with setgroups disabled.
  Processes without privileges already can not call setgroups so this
  is a noop.  Prodcess with privilege become processes without
  privilege when entering a user namespace and as with any other path
  to dropping privilege they would not have the ability to call
  setgroups.  So this remains within the bounds of what is possible
  without a knob to disable setgroups permanently in a user namespace.

proc_flush_task_mnt() always tries to flush task/pid, but this is
pointless if we reap the leader. d_invalidate() is recursive, and
if nothing else the next d_hash_and_lookup(tgid) should fail anyway.

Extract the mm_access() code from __mem_open() into the new helper,
proc_mem_open(), the next patch will add another caller.

<title>proc: Update proc_flush_task_mnt to use d_invalidate</title>

Now that d_invalidate always succeeds and flushes mount points use
it in stead of a combination of shrink_dcache_parent and d_drop
in proc_flush_task_mnt.  This removes the danger of a mount point
under /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/... becoming unreachable after the d_drop.

<title>vfs: Remove d_drop calls from d_revalidate implementations</title>

Now that d_invalidate always succeeds it is not longer necessary or
desirable to hard code d_drop calls into filesystem specific
d_revalidate implementations.

Remove the unnecessary d_drop calls and rely on d_invalidate
to drop the dentries.  Using d_invalidate ensures that paths
to mount points will not be dropped.
