coda: Restrict coda messages to the initial user namespace
Remove the slight chance that uids and gids in coda messages will be interpreted in the wrong user namespace. - Only allow processes in the initial user namespace to open the coda character device to communicate with coda filesystems. - Explicitly convert the uids in the coda header into the initial user namespace. - In coda_vattr_to_attr make kuids and kgids from the initial user namespace uids and gids in struct coda_vattr that just came from userspace. - In coda_iattr_to_vattr convert kuids and kgids into uids and gids in the intial user namespace and store them in struct coda_vattr for sending to coda userspace programs. Nothing needs to be changed with mounts as coda does not support being mounted in anything other than the initial user namespace. Cc: Jan Harkes <jaharkes@cs.cmu.edu> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
