When a new subvolume is created btrfs currently doesn't check whether the fsgid/fsuid of the caller actually have a mapping in the user namespace attached to the filesystem. The VFS always checks this to make sure that the caller's fsgid/fsuid can be represented on-disk. This is most relevant for filesystems that can be mounted inside user namespaces but it is in general a good hardening measure to prevent unrepresentable gid/uid from being written to disk. Since we want to support idmapped mounts for btrfs ioctls to create subvolumes in follow-up patches this becomes important since we want to make sure the fsgid/fsuid of the caller as mapped according to the idmapped mount can be represented on-disk. Simply add the missing fsuidgid_has_mapping() line from the VFS may_create() version to btrfs_may_create().

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.
