Miklos Szeredi 5d6d3a301c fuse: allow server to run in different pid_ns 
Commit 0b6e9ea041 ("fuse: Add support for pid namespaces") broke
Sandstorm.io development tools, which have been sending FUSE file
descriptors across PID namespace boundaries since early 2014.

The above patch added a check that prevented I/O on the fuse device file
descriptor if the pid namespace of the reader/writer was different from the
pid namespace of the mounter.  With this change passing the device file
descriptor to a different pid namespace simply doesn't work.  The check was
added because pids are transferred to/from the fuse userspace server in the
namespace registered at mount time.

To fix this regression, remove the checks and do the following:

1) the pid in the request header (the pid of the task that initiated the
filesystem operation) is translated to the reader's pid namespace.  If a
mapping doesn't exist for this pid, then a zero pid is used.  Note: even if
a mapping would exist between the initiator task's pid namespace and the
reader's pid namespace the pid will be zero if either mapping from
initator's to mounter's namespace or mapping from mounter's to reader's
namespace doesn't exist.

2) The lk.pid value in setlk/setlkw requests and getlk reply is left alone.
Userspace should not interpret this value anyway.  Also allow the
setlk/setlkw operations if the pid of the task cannot be represented in the
mounter's namespace (pid being zero in that case).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
