The may_follow_link(), may_linkat(), may_lookup(), may_open(), may_o_create(), may_create_in_sticky(), may_delete(), and may_create() helpers determine whether the caller is privileged enough to perform the associated operations. Let them handle idmapped mounts by mapping the inode or fsids according to the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to non-idmapped inodes. The patch takes care to retrieve the mount's user namespace right before performing permission checks and passing it down into the fileystem so the user namespace can't change in between by someone idmapping a mount that is currently not idmapped. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.

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.
