[RFC PATCH v2] hostfs: handle idmapped mounts

From: Glenn Washburn
Date: Tue Feb 28 2023 - 20:50:40 EST


Let hostfs handle idmapped mounts. This allows to have the same hostfs
mount appear in multiple locations with different id mappings.

root@(none):/media# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
root@(none):/media# mkdir mnt idmapped
root@(none):/media# mount -thostfs -o/home/user hostfs mnt

root@(none):/media# touch mnt/aaa
root@(none):/media# mount-idmapped --map-mount u:`id -u user`:0:1 --map-mount g:`id -g user`:0:1 /media/mnt /media/idmapped
root@(none):/media# ls -l mnt/aaa idmapped/aaa
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 28 01:23 idmapped/aaa
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Jan 28 01:23 mnt/aaa

root@(none):/media# touch idmapped/bbb
root@(none):/media# ls -l mnt/bbb idmapped/bbb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 28 01:26 idmapped/bbb
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Jan 28 01:26 mnt/bbb

Changes from v1:
* Rebase on to tip. The above commands work and have the results expected.
The __vfsuid_val(make_vfsuid(...)) seems ugly to get the uid_t, but it
seemed like the best one I've come across. Is there a better way?
