Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] NFSD: Map flex file layout IDs through the request's user namespace
Date: Fri,  6 Nov 2026 07:59:21 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106125901.15517-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110409-never-carnation-defe@gregkh>

From: Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit f913d5d2130a584d1a027ffe3dfd88b6be2e0540 ]

nfsd4_ff_proc_layoutget() and nfsd4_ff_encode_layoutget() translate
the file's owner and group with init_user_ns, but every other identity
nfsd places on the wire goes through nfsd_user_namespace(). When the
transport carries a credential from a non-initial user namespace, the
flex file layout reports host-global IDs. The client copies those IDs
into the AUTH_SYS credential it presents to the data server, and
svcauth_unix_accept() resolves that credential in the transport's
namespace, so data server I/O runs under an identity unrelated to the
file's owner.

Switching to the request's namespace introduces a second hazard.
from_kuid() returns (uid_t)-1 when the target namespace has no
mapping for the owner, and the IOMODE_READ arm adds one to that
result to derive an identity for which the data server denies
writes. The addition would wrap to zero, handing the client uid 0
instead of an identity distinct from the owner.

Translate both IDs in nfsd4_ff_proc_layoutget(), which has the
svc_rqst, and carry the wire values in struct pnfs_ff_layout.
from_kuid_munged() substitutes overflowuid for an unmapped owner and
thus never returns (uid_t)-1, so the increment cannot wrap to zero.
