With the patch to allow xattr/attr operations if a portable signature
verification fails, cp and tar can copy all xattrs/attrs so that at the
end of the process verification succeeds.

However, it might happen that the xattrs/attrs are already set to the
correct value (taken at signing time) and signature verification succeeds
before the copy has completed. For example, an archive might contains files
owned by root and the archive is extracted by root.

Then, since portable signatures are immutable, all subsequent operations
fail (e.g. fchown()), even if the operation is legitimate (does not alter
the current value).

This patch avoids this problem by reporting successful operation to user
space when that operation does not alter the current value of xattrs/attrs.

Based on Mimi's review, I will change this to:

if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(acl))

+
+	acl_res = acl;
+	rc = posix_acl_update_mode(&init_user_ns, inode, &mode,
&acl_res);
About this part, probably it is not correct.

I'm writing a test for this patch that checks if operations
that don't change the file mode succeed and those that
do fail.

mount-idmapped --map-mount b:3001:0:1 /mnt /mnt-idmapped
pushd /mnt
echo "test" > test-file
chown 3001 test-file
chgrp 3001 test-file
chmod 2644 test-file
<check enabled>
setfacl --set u::rw,g::r,o::r,m:r test-file (expected to succeed, caller has CAP_FSETID, so S_ISGID is not dropped)
setfacl --set u::rw,g::r,o::r,m:rw test-file (expected to fail)
pushd /mnt-idmapped
capsh --drop=cap_fsetid -- -c setfacl --set u::rw,g::r,o::r test-file (expected to succeed, caller is in the owning group of test-file, so S_ISGID is not dropped)

After adding a debug line in posix_acl_update_mode():
printk("%s: %d(%d) %d\n", __func__, in_group_p(i_gid_into_mnt(mnt_userns, inode)), __kgid_val(i_gid_into_mnt(mnt_userns, inode)), capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(mnt_userns, inode, CAP_FSETID));

without passing mnt_userns:
[  748.262582] setfacl --set u::rw,g::r,o::r,m:r test-file
[  748.268021] posix_acl_update_mode: 0(3001) 1
[  748.268035] posix_acl_update_mode: 0(3001) 1
[  748.268570] setfacl --set u::rw,g::r,o::r,m:rw test-file
[  748.274193] posix_acl_update_mode: 0(3001) 1
[  748.279198] capsh --drop=cap_fsetid -- -c setfacl --set u::rw,g::r,o::r test-file
[  748.287894] posix_acl_update_mode: 0(3001) 0

passing mnt_userns:
[   81.159766] setfacl --set u::rw,g::r,o::r,m:r test-file
[   81.165207] posix_acl_update_mode: 0(3001) 1
[   81.165226] posix_acl_update_mode: 0(3001) 1
[   81.165732] setfacl --set u::rw,g::r,o::r,m:rw test-file
[   81.170978] posix_acl_update_mode: 0(3001) 1
[   81.176014] capsh --drop=cap_fsetid -- -c setfacl --set u::rw,g::r,o::r test-file
[   81.184648] posix_acl_update_mode: 1(0) 0
[   81.184663] posix_acl_update_mode: 1(0) 0

The difference is that, by passing mnt_userns, the caller (root) is
in the owning group of the file (3001 -> 0). Without passing mnt_userns,
it is not (3001 -> 3001).

Christian, Andreas, could you confirm that this is correct?
