In orangefs_inode_getxattr(), an fsuid is written to dmesg. The kuid is
converted to a userspace uid via from_kuid(current_user_ns(), [...]), but
since dmesg is global, init_user_ns should be used here instead.
In copy_attributes_from_inode(), op_alloc() and fill_default_sys_attrs(),
upcall structures are populated with uids/gids that have been mapped into
the caller's namespace. However, those upcall structures are read by
another process (the userspace filesystem driver), and that process might
be running in another namespace. This effectively lets any user spoof its
uid and gid as seen by the userspace filesystem driver.
To fix the second issue, I just construct the opcall structures with
init_user_ns uids/gids and require the filesystem server to run in the
init namespace. Since orangefs is full of global state anyway (as the error
message in DUMP_DEVICE_ERROR explains, there can only be one userspace
orangefs filesystem driver at once), that shouldn't be a problem.
[
Why does orangefs even exist in the kernel if everything does upcalls into
userspace? What does orangefs do that couldn't be done with the FUSE
interface? If there is no good answer to those questions, I'd prefer to see
orangefs kicked out of the kernel. Can that be done for something that
shipped in a release?
According to commit f7ab093f74 ("Orangefs: kernel client part 1"), they
even already have a FUSE daemon, and the only rational reason (apart from
"but most of our users report preferring to use our kernel module instead")
given for not wanting to use FUSE is one "in-the-works" feature that could
probably be integated into FUSE instead.

ah, my mistake. Here's a fixed version.
Thanks,

Orangefs has a catch-all xattr handler that effectively does what the
trusted handler does already.

The ORANGEFS_XATTR_INDEX_ defines are unused; the ORANGEFS_XATTR_NAME_

The former can potentially be a performance win over the latter.
memcpy(d, s, len);
memset(d+len, c, size-len);
memset(d, c, size);
memcpy(d, s, len);

1. It is nonsense to test for negative size_t, suggested by
David Binderman <dcb314@hotmail.com>
2. By the time Orangefs gets called, the vfs has ensured that
name != NULL, and that buffer and size are sane.

OrangeFS was formerly known as PVFS2 and retains the name in many places.
I leave the device /dev/pvfs2-req since this affects userspace.
I leave the filesystem type pvfs2 since this affects userspace. Further
the OrangeFS sysint library reads fstab for an entry of type pvfs2
independently of kernel mounts.
I leave extended attribute keys user.pvfs2 and system.pvfs2 as the
sysint library understands these.
I leave references to userspace binaries still named pvfs2.
I leave the filenames.

This should do it - switches ->ioctl() to pvfs2_inode_[gs]etxattr() and
converts xattr_handler ->[gs]et() to new API.

Don't check for negative rc from boolean.
Don't pointlessly initialize variables, it short-circuits
gcc's uninitialized variable warnings. And max_new_nr_segs
can never be zero, so don't check for it.
Preserve original kstrdup pointer for freeing later.
Don't check for negative value in unsigned variable.
