nsfs: Add an ioctl() to return owner UID of a userns
I'd like to write code that discovers the user namespace hierarchy on a running system, and also shows who owns the various user namespaces. Currently, there is no way of getting the owner UID of a user namespace. Therefore, this patch adds a new NS_GET_CREATOR_UID ioctl() that fetches the UID (as seen in the user namespace of the caller) of the creator of the user namespace referred to by the specified file descriptor. If the supplied file descriptor does not refer to a user namespace, the operation fails with the error EINVAL. If the owner UID does not have a mapping in the caller's user namespace return the overflow UID as that appears easier to deal with in practice in user-space applications. -- EWB Changed the handling of unmapped UIDs from -EOVERFLOW back to the overflow uid. Per conversation with Michael Kerrisk after examining his test code. Acked-by: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.
