If client does a write() on a suid/sgid file, VFS will first call
fuse_setattr() with ATTR_KILL_S[UG]ID set. This requires sending setattr
to file server with ATTR_MODE set to kill suid/sgid. But to do that client
needs to know latest mode otherwise it is racy.
To reduce the race window, current code first call fuse_do_getattr() to get
latest ->i_mode and then resets suid/sgid bits and sends rest to server
with setattr(ATTR_MODE). This does not reduce the race completely but
narrows race window significantly.
With fc->handle_killpriv_v2 enabled, it should be possible to remove this
race completely. Do not kill suid/sgid with ATTR_MODE at all. It will be
killed by server when WRITE request is sent to server soon. This is
similar to fc->handle_killpriv logic. V2 is just more refined version of
protocol. Hence this patch does not send ATTR_MODE to kill suid/sgid if
fc->handle_killpriv_v2 is enabled.
This creates an issue if fc->writeback_cache is enabled. In that case
WRITE can be cached in guest and server might not see WRITE request and
hence will not kill suid/sgid. Miklos suggested that in such cases, we
should fallback to a writethrough WRITE instead and that will generate
WRITE request and kill suid/sgid. This patch implements that too.
But this relies on client seeing the suid/sgid set. If another client sets
suid/sgid and this client does not see it immideately, then we will not
fallback to writethrough WRITE. So this is one limitation with both
fc->handle_killpriv_v2 and fc->writeback_cache enabled. Both the options
are not fully compatible. But might be good enough for many use cases.
Note: This patch is not checking whether security.capability is set or not
when falling back to writethrough path. If suid/sgid is not set and
only security.capability is set, that will be taken care of by
file_remove_privs() call in ->writeback_cache path.

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.
