[Virtio-fs] [PATCH v2 0/2] fuse: Fix clearing SGID when access ACL is set

[Vivek Goyal]

Hi,

This is V2 of the patchset. Posted V1 here.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20210319195547.427371-1-vgoyal@redhat.com/

Changes since V1:

- Dropped the helper to determine if SGID should be cleared and open
  coded it instead. I will follow up on helper separately in a different
  patch series. There are few places already which open code this, so
  for now fuse can do the same. Atleast I can make progress on this
  and virtiofs can enable ACL support.

Luis reported that xfstests generic/375 fails with virtiofs. Little
debugging showed that when posix access acl is set that in some
cases SGID needs to be cleared and that does not happen with virtiofs.

Setting posix access acl can lead to mode change and it can also lead
to clear of SGID. fuse relies on file server taking care of all
the mode changes. But file server does not have enough information to
determine whether SGID should be cleared or not.

Hence this patch series add support to send a flag in SETXATTR message
to tell server to clear SGID.

I have staged corresponding virtiofsd patches here.

With these patches applied "./check -g acl" passes now on virtiofs.

Thanks
Vivek
