Eric - I had kind of forgotten about this part until just now, but
previously with these patches we had discussed how to handle ids from
the filesystem that aren't valid in s_user_ns. My intention is to set
the kuids in the inode to invalid, and in these patches I've updated the
vfs so that it should be safe to do that. But at some point I think you
had suggested marking the inodes bad, and I must have added this as a
result. I guess we need to decide which way to go. I favor using invalid
ids so that a user privileged in s_user_ns can still access the inode,
change ownership, etc., but I'm interested to hear your opinion.

Thanks,
Seth
