BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058948 [ 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. -- v1 -> v2: minor coding style fix (comment) Signed-off-by: Max Kellermann <max.kellermann@ionos.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231208093310.297233-2-max.kellermann@ionos.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Manuel Diewald <manuel.diewald@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader@canonical.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
