Subject[PATCH 5.12 040/127] fs/mount_setattr: tighten permission checks
Date
From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com>

commit 2ca4dcc4909d787ee153272f7efc2bff3b498720 upstream.

We currently don't have any filesystems that support idmapped mounts
which are mountable inside a user namespace. That was a deliberate
decision for now as a userns root can just mount the filesystem
themselves. So enforce this restriction explicitly until there's a real
use-case for this. This way we can notice it and will have a chance to
adapt and audit our translation helpers and fstests appropriately if we
need to support such filesystems.
