[PATCH 00/11] ksmbd: various fixes

[Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>]

From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com>

Hey everyone,

I took the time to look at ksmbd last week and today. I performed
various tests, read a bunch of code and discovered a few bugs that I
addressed in this series. Most of them simply deal with the translation
of ownership between samba ids and unix ids.

The server client model makes it a bit harder to reason about things but
in essence ksmbd behaves like a very simple shim sitting on top of the
underlying filesystem and thus bares some _vague_ resemblance to
overlayfs and other overlay-style filesystems. The crucial thing is that
ksmbd calls into the lower filesystem to create and manage filesystem
objects. This is inherently a tricky thing to get right as it
essentially involves two-level thinking all of the time. The easiest
conceptual model I came up with for me is that ksmbd is similar to a
userspace process that calls into the filesystem. With this model in
mind it becomes a lot clearer how ownership needs to be managed. I tried
to reflect that thinking in the commit message explaining why what
happens.

Thanks!
Christian
