[v6,00/15] ceph: support idmapped mounts

Message

Dear friends,

This patchset was originally developed by Christian Brauner but I'll continue
to push it forward. Christian allowed me to do that :)

This feature is already actively used/tested with LXD/LXC project.

Git tree (based on https://github.com/ceph/ceph-client.git testing):
v6: https://github.com/mihalicyn/linux/commits/fs.idmapped.ceph.v6
current: https://github.com/mihalicyn/linux/tree/fs.idmapped.ceph

In the version 3 I've changed only two commits:
- fs: export mnt_idmap_get/mnt_idmap_put
- ceph: allow idmapped setattr inode op
and added a new one:
- ceph: pass idmap to __ceph_setattr

In the version 4 I've reworked the ("ceph: stash idmapping in mdsc request")
commit. Now we take idmap refcounter just in place where req->r_mnt_idmap
is filled. It's more safer approach and prevents possible refcounter underflow
on error paths where __register_request wasn't called but ceph_mdsc_release_request is
called.

Changelog for version 5:
- a few commits were squashed into one (as suggested by Xiubo Li)
- started passing an idmapping everywhere (if possible), so a caller
UID/GID-s will be mapped almost everywhere (as suggested by Xiubo Li)

Changelog for version 6:
- rebased on top of testing branch
- passed an idmapping in a few places (readdir, ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline)

Note. There is a known issue that idmapped mounts are not fully compatible with
MDS (server side) UID/GID-based path restriction, and full support of this requires
massive VFS changes or Cephfs protocol change. Anyway, we've tested the first version
of this patchset for more that a year with the container workloads and it works perfecly
well and it seems that even with this limitation it worth adding support of idmapped mounts.

I can confirm that this version passes xfstests.

Original description from Christian:
========================================================================
This patch series enables cephfs to support idmapped mounts, i.e. the
ability to alter ownership information on a per-mount basis.

Container managers such as LXD support sharaing data via cephfs between
the host and unprivileged containers and between unprivileged containers.
They may all use different idmappings. Idmapped mounts can be used to
create mounts with the idmapping used for the container (or a different
one specific to the use-case).

There are in fact more use-cases such as remapping ownership for
mountpoints on the host itself to grant or restrict access to different
users or to make it possible to enforce that programs running as root
will write with a non-zero {g,u}id to disk.

The patch series is simple overall and few changes are needed to cephfs.
There is one cephfs specific issue that I would like to discuss and
solve which I explain in detail in:

[PATCH 02/12] ceph: handle idmapped mounts in create_request_message()

It has to do with how to handle mds serves which have id-based access
restrictions configured. I would ask you to please take a look at the
explanation in the aforementioned patch.

The patch series passes the vfs and idmapped mount testsuite as part of
xfstests. To run it you will need a config like:

[ceph]
export FSTYP=ceph
export TEST_DIR=/mnt/test
export TEST_DEV=10.103.182.10:6789:/
export TEST_FS_MOUNT_OPTS="-o name=admin,secret=$password

and then simply call

sudo ./check -g idmapped
