fs: account for filesystem mappings
Currently we only support idmapped mounts for filesystems mounted without an idmapping. This was a conscious decision mentioned in multiple places (cf. e.g. [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. Various container projects in userspace need this to run unprivileged and nested unprivileged containers (cf. [2]). Before we can port any filesystem that is mountable with an idmapping to support idmapped mounts 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] but I'll give an overview here again. Currently, the low-level mapping helpers implement the remapping algorithms described in [3] in a simplified manner. Because we could rely on the fact that all filesystems supporting idmapped mounts are mounted without an idmapping the translation step from or into the filesystem idmapping could be skipped. In order to support idmapped mounts of filesystem's mountable with an idmapping the translation step we were able to skip before cannot be skipped anymore. A filesystem mounted with an idmapping is 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. More details with examples can be found in [3]. This patch adds a few new and prepares some already existing low-level mapping helpers to perform the full translation algorithm explained in [3]. The low-level helpers can be written in a way that they only perform the additional translation step when the filesystem is indeed mounted with an idmapping. If the low-level helpers detect that they are not dealing with an idmapped mount they can simply return the relevant k{g,u}id unchanged; no remapping needs to be performed at all. The no_idmapping() helper detects whether the shortcut can be used. If the low-level helpers detected that they are dealing with an idmapped mount but the underlying filesystem is mounted without an idmapping we can rely on the previous shorcut and can continue to skip the translation step from or into the filesystem's idmapping. 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. This patch adds the helpers mapped_k{g,u}id_fs() and mapped_k{g,u}id_user(). Following patches will port all places to replace the old k{g,u}id_into_mnt() and k{g,u}id_from_mnt() with these two new helpers. After the conversion is done k{g,u}id_into_mnt() and k{g,u}id_from_mnt() will be removed. This also concludes the renaming of the mapping helpers we started in [4]. Now, all mapping helpers will started with the "mapped_" prefix making everything nice and consistent. The mapped_k{g,u}id_fs() helpers replace the k{g,u}id_into_mnt() helpers. They are to be used when k{g,u}ids are to be mapped from the vfs, e.g. from from struct inode's i_{g,u}id. Conversely, the mapped_k{g,u}id_user() helpers replace the k{g,u}id_from_mnt() helpers. They are to be used when k{g,u}ids are to be written to disk, e.g. when entering from a system call to change ownership of a file. This patch only introduces the helpers. It doesn't yet convert the relevant places to account for filesystem mounted with an idmapping.
