Merge patch series "fs: harden anon inodes"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
* Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing
issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert. Fix
that by giving them a proper mode and masking it off when we report it
to userspace which relies on them not having any mode.
* Anonymous inodes currently allow to change inode attributes because
the VFS falls back to simple_setattr() if i_op->setattr isn't
implemented. This means the ownership and mode for every single user
of anon_inode_inode can be changed. Block that as it's either useless
or actively harmful. If specific ownership is needed the respective
subsystem should allocate anonymous inodes from their own private
superblock.
* Port pidfs to the new anon_inode_{g,s}etattr() helpers.
* Add proper tests for anonymous inode behavior.
The anonymous inode specific fixes should ideally be backported to all
LTS kernels.
