[patch 08/10] unprivileged mounts: allow unprivileged fuse mounts

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Fri Apr 27 2007 - 08:14:47 EST


From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

Use FS_SAFE for "fuse" fs type, but not for "fuseblk".

FUSE was designed from the beginning to be safe for unprivileged users. This
has also been verified in practice over many years. In addition unprivileged
mounts require the parent mount to be owned by the user, which is more strict
than the current userspace policy.

This will enable future installations to remove the suid-root fusermount
utility.

Don't require the "user_id=" and "group_id=" options for unprivileged mounts,
but if they are present, verify them for sanity.

Disallow the "allow_other" option for unprivileged mounts.
