Now we have everything in place and we can allow idmapped mounts by setting the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag. Notice that real availability of idmapped mounts will depend on the fuse daemon. Fuse daemon have to set FUSE_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in the FUSE_INIT reply. To discuss: - we enable idmapped mounts support only if "default_permissions" mode is enabled, because otherwise we would need to deal with UID/GID mappings in the userspace side OR provide the userspace with idmapped req->in.h.uid/req->in.h.gid values which is not something that we probably want to. Idmapped mounts philosophy is not about faking caller uid/gid.

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 reStructuredText 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.
