Merge tag 'fs.setgid.v6.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull setgid updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to move setgid stripping out of individual
filesystems and into the VFS itself.
Creating files that have both the S_IXGRP and S_ISGID bit raised in
directories that themselves have the S_ISGID bit set requires
additional privileges to avoid security issues.
When a filesystem creates a new inode it needs to take care that the
caller is either in the group of the newly created inode or they have
CAP_FSETID in their current user namespace and are privileged over the
parent directory of the new inode. If any of these two conditions is
true then the S_ISGID bit can be raised for an S_IXGRP file and if not
it needs to be stripped.
However, there are several key issues with the current implementation:
- S_ISGID stripping logic is entangled with umask stripping.
For example, if the umask removes the S_IXGRP bit from the file
about to be created then the S_ISGID bit will be kept.
The inode_init_owner() helper is responsible for S_ISGID stripping
and is called before posix_acl_create(). So we can end up with two
different orderings:
1. FS without POSIX ACL support
First strip umask then strip S_ISGID in inode_init_owner().
In other words, if a filesystem doesn't support or enable POSIX
ACLs then umask stripping is done directly in the vfs before
calling into the filesystem:
2. FS with POSIX ACL support
First strip S_ISGID in inode_init_owner() then strip umask in
posix_acl_create().
In other words, if the filesystem does support POSIX ACLs then
unmask stripping may be done in the filesystem itself when
calling posix_acl_create().
Note that technically filesystems are free to impose their own
ordering between posix_acl_create() and inode_init_owner() meaning
that there's additional ordering issues that influence S_ISGID
inheritance.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
