Merge tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.ovl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull overlayfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This lets the merged overlayfs mount itself be idmapped through
mount_setattr(MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP), in addition to the already supported
idmapped lower and upper layers. The same overlay tree can then be
exposed under a different ownership view.

Overlayfs already normalizes every underlying id through the relevant
layer idmap when ovl_copyattr() copies attributes into the overlay
inode. So the overlay inode's i_uid and i_gid are overlay-final ids.

The overlay mount idmap composes on top of that and is applied at the
overlay-inode boundary only while the underlying layers keep being
accessed with the mounter's credentials through their own (possibly
idmapped) mounts.

So this only changes how the caller sees the overlay inode and never
widens the mounter's access to the layers. The second,
mounter-credential check in ovl_permission() against the real inode
stays on the layer idmap.

Most paths need no change because the VFS applies the mount idmap to
the overlay inode before overlayfs runs or after it returns at the
syscall boundary. Overlayfs only has to change where it bypasses the
generic path.

This also included is a fix for a double end_creating() on the
overlayfs casefold-mismatch path"

Merge patch series "ovl: support idmapped overlay mounts"

Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:

ovl: support idmapped overlay mounts

I've been asked about this feature multiple times and had actually
implemented it right when I did the initial idmapped layer support.
So here's a new version of this series.

This series lets the merged overlayfs mount itself be idmapped via
mount_setattr(MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP), in addition to the already supported
idmapped lower and upper layers. It allows the same overlay tree to
be exposed under a different ownership view, e.g. a container seeing
the merged tree as 0:0 regardless of the on-disk or per-layer ids.

Overlayfs already normalizes every underlying id through the relevant
layer idmap when it copies attributes into the overlay inode
(ovl_copyattr()), so the overlay inode's i_{u,g}id are "overlay-final"
ids. The overlay mount idmap O composes on top of that pivot:

caller view <--O--> overlay-final id <--layer idmap--> on-disk

O is applied at the overlay-inode boundary only - permission, getattr,
setattr, the ACL owner checks and inode_init_owner() - while the
underlying layers keep being accessed with the mounter's credentials
through their own, possibly idmapped, mounts. The mount idmap thus
only changes how the caller sees the overlay inode and never widens
the mounter's access to the layers: the second, mounter-credential
check in ovl_permission() against the real inode stays on the layer
idmap.

Most paths need no change because the VFS applies O to the overlay
inode before overlayfs runs (sticky/rename/unlink/create gating) or
after it returns at the syscall boundary (the POSIX ACL get/set
translation). Overlayfs only acts where it bypasses the generic path:
getattr (it stats the real path), the setattr forward to the upper
(the requested id is rebased from O into overlay-final space before
being handed down), inode_init_owner() on create/tmpfile, and its own
owner checks in ovl_set_acl().

FS_ALLOW_IDMAP is set last, once every operation honors O, so there is
no bisection point where the mount is idmappable but an operation
still ignores the idmapping.

Note that fstests will be broken by this temporarily as they rely on the
ability to create whiteouts for unprivileged device node creation. That
can be adjusted.

selftests/filesystems/overlayfs: test idmapped overlay mounts

Add a selftest for idmapping the merged overlay mount itself. It
applies an idmapping to a freshly created (still detached) overlay
mount with mount_setattr(MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP) and checks that:

- getattr reports ownership mapped through the mount idmap;
- a file created through the idmapped mount is stored on the upper
layer with the corresponding overlay-final id;
- chown through the idmapped mount round-trips;
- an nfs_export overlay can be idmapped and decodable file handles
round-trip through it with correctly mapped ownership.

The layers live on a private tmpfs and are owned by the host id so that
they map to id 0 through the test idmapping, allowing the root caller
to operate on them.

Merge patch series "filesystems selftests cleanups and fanotify test"

Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> says:

This adds a test for fanotify mount ns notifications inside userns [1].

While working on the test I ended up making lots of cleanups to reduce
build dependency on make headers_install.

These patches got rid of the dependency for my kvm setup for the
affected filesystems tests.

Building with TOOLS_INCLUDES dir was recommended by John Hubbard [2].

NOTE #1: these patches are based on a merge of vfs-6.16.mount
(changes wrappers.h) into v6.15-rc5 (changes mount-notify_test.c),
so if this cleanup is acceptable, we should probably setup a selftests
branch for 6.16, so that it can be used to test the fanotify patches.

NOTE #2: some of the defines in wrappers.h are left for overlayfs and
mount_setattr tests, which were not converted to use TOOLS_INCLUDES.
I did not want to mess with those tests.
