Most of the changes here are in response to upstream feedback. At a high level the changes are: - A small improvement to the quota code, then disallow enabling quota for mounts from non-init user namespaces. Since quota in non-init namespaces isn't a requirement in 16.04 we're better off disabling it until we know for sure how it will be handled upstream. However ext4 might temporarily enable quota during mount if recovering from an unclean unmount, so the kernel needs to be able to handle it. - Revert the way capabilities are determined for inodes in userns mounts back to how it is upstream, i.e. based on both capabilities and inode ownership, but allow a privileged user in s_user_ns to chown if the id being changed is invalid and the other id is either invalid or an id mapped into s_user_ns. This gives the mounter control over inodes with unmappable ids while making it safe to have s_user_ns != &init_user_ns for proc and kernfs-based mounts. - Fix an incompatibility between cgroup namespaces and user namespace mounts. Previously this was fixed as a side effect of another patch, but that patch is being reverted. - Remove a needless mount option initialization in fuse. - Fix a resource leak for an error path in sget_userns().
