[ Upstream commit 5133bee62f0ea5d4c316d503cc0040cac5637601 ] Handling of S_ISGID is usually done by inode_init_owner() in all other filesystems, but kernfs doesn't use that function. In kernfs, struct kernfs_node is the primary data structure, and struct inode is only created from it on demand. Therefore, inode_init_owner() can't be used and we need to imitate its behavior. S_ISGID support is useful for the cgroup filesystem; it allows subtrees managed by an unprivileged process to retain a certain owner gid, which then enables sharing access to the subtree with another unprivileged process. -- v1 -> v2: minor coding style fix (comment) Signed-off-by: Max Kellermann <max.kellermann@ionos.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231208093310.297233-2-max.kellermann@ionos.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> |
