[uml-devel] hostfs / current->fsuid

[Trent Lloyd <lathiat@bur.st>]

Hi Guys,

I was looking into trying to modify hostfs so if UML ran as root it
would keep the same permissions

And to start, I am aware of humfs, i guess my next question could be,
would humfs work with two UMLs accessing the filesystem, if yes, the
rest of this is redundant.

I was looking at making hostfs set the right owner at create time,
however current->fsuid seems just to be root, and not the person who
called the process (this is in hostfs_kern.c)

Sorry if I'm off the mark here and this is wrong, could someone tell me
if either I've buggered up somewhere and it should be right, or if I'm
using the wrong thing completely and how I could get the uid of the user
who requested the file operation.

Cheers,
Trent
