Pull fatfs vfsuid conversion from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we introduced the new vfs{g,u}id_t types that we had agreed
on. The most important parts of the vfs have been converted but there
are a few more places we need to switch before we can remove the old
helpers completely.
This cycle we converted all filesystems that called idmapped mount
helpers directly. The affected filesystems are f2fs, fat, fuse, ksmbd,
overlayfs, and xfs. We've sent patches for all of them. Looking at
-next f2fs, ksmbd, overlayfs, and xfs have all picked up these patches
and they should land in mainline during the v6.1 merge window.
So all filesystems that have a separate tree should send the vfsuid
conversion themselves. Onle the fat conversion is going through this
generic fs trees because there is no fat tree.
In order to change time settings on an inode fat checks that the
caller either is the owner of the inode or the inode's group is in the
caller's group list. If fat is on an idmapped mount we compare whether
the inode mapped into the mount is equivalent to the caller's fsuid.
If it isn't we compare whether the inode's group mapped into the mount
is in the caller's group list.
We now use the new vfsuid based helpers for that"

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.
