[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 05/13] fs/kernfs/dir: obey S_ISGID

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Max Kellermann <max.kellermann@ionos.com>

[ 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.
