[PATCH] [56/139] user_ns: Introduce user_nsmap_uid and user_ns_map_gid.

[Andi Kleen]

2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
Upstream commit 5c1469de7545a35a16ff2b902e217044a7d2f8a5

Define what happens when a we view a uid from one user_namespace
in another user_namepece.

- If the user namespaces are the same no mapping is necessary.

- For most cases of difference use overflowuid and overflowgid,
  the uid and gid currently used for 16bit apis when we have a 32bit uid
  that does fit in 16bits.  Effectively the situation is the same,
  we want to return a uid or gid that is not assigned to any user.

- For the case when we happen to be mapping the uid or gid of the
  creator of the target user namespace use uid 0 and gid as confusing
  that user with root is not a problem.
