In addition this contains various cleanups that avoid repeated open-coding of the same functionality and simplify the code in quite a few places. We also finish the renaming of the mapping helpers we started a few kernel releases back and move them to a dedicated header to not continue polluting the fs header needlessly with low-level idmapping helpers. With this series the fs header only contains idmapping helpers that interact with fs objects. Currently we only support idmapped mounts for filesystems mounted without an idmapping themselves. This was a conscious decision mentioned in multiple places (cf. [1]). As explained at length in [3] it is perfectly fine to extend support for idmapped mounts to filesystem's mounted with an idmapping should the need arise. The need has been there for some time now (cf. [2]). Before we can port any filesystem that is mountable with an idmapping to support idmapped mounts in the coming cycles, we need to first extend the mapping helpers to account for the filesystem's idmapping. This again, is explained at length in our documentation at [3] and also in the individual commit messages so here's an overview. Currently, the low-level mapping helpers implement the remapping algorithms described in [3] in a simplified manner as we could rely on the fact that all filesystems supporting idmapped mounts are mounted without an idmapping. In contrast, filesystems mounted with an idmapping are very likely to not use an identity mapping and will instead use a non-identity mapping. So the translation step from or into the filesystem's idmapping in the remapping algorithm cannot be skipped for such filesystems. Non-idmapped filesystems and filesystems not supporting idmapped mounts are unaffected by this change as the remapping algorithms can take the same shortcut as before. If the low-level helpers detect that they are dealing with an idmapped mount but the underlying filesystem is mounted without an idmapping we can rely on the previous shortcut and can continue to skip the translation step from or into the filesystem's idmapping. And of course, if the low-level helpers detect that they are not dealing with an idmapped mount they can simply return the relevant id unchanged; no remapping needs to be performed at all. These checks guarantee that only the minimal amount of work is performed. As before, if idmapped mounts aren't used the low-level helpers are idempotent and no work is performed at all" Link: |
