Allow users with CAP_SYS_CHOWN over the superblock of a filesystem to chown files when inode owner is invalid. Ordinarily the capable_wrt_inode_uidgid check is sufficient to allow access to files but when the underlying filesystem has uids or gids that don't map to the current user namespace it is not enough, so the chown permission checks need to be extended to allow this case. Calling chown on filesystem nodes whose uid or gid don't map is necessary if those nodes are going to be modified as writing back inodes which contain uids or gids that don't map is likely to cause filesystem corruption of the uid or gid fields. Once chown has been called the existing capable_wrt_inode_uidgid checks are sufficient to allow the owner of a superblock to do anything the global root user can do with an appropriate set of capabilities. An ordinary filesystem mountable by a userns root will limit all uids and gids in s_user_ns or the INVALID_UID and INVALID_GID to flag all others. So having this added permission limited to just INVALID_UID and INVALID_GID is sufficient to handle every case on an ordinary filesystem. Of the virtual filesystems at least proc is known to set s_user_ns to something other than &init_user_ns, while at the same time presenting some files owned by GLOBAL_ROOT_UID. Those files the mounter of proc in a user namespace should not be able to chown to get access to. Limiting the relaxation in permission to just the minimum of allowing changing INVALID_UID and INVALID_GID prevents problems with cases like that. The original version of this patch was written by: Seth Forshee. I have rewritten and rethought this patch enough so it's really not the same thing (certainly it needs a different description), but he deserves credit for getting out there and getting the conversation started, and finding the potential gotcha's and putting up with my semi-paranoid feedback.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
