[PATCH RESEND v2 13/18] fs: Allow superblock owner to access do_remount_sb()

From: Seth Forshee <hidden>
Date: 2016-01-04 18:04:40
Also in: dm-devel, linux-bcache, linux-fsdevel, lkml, selinux
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

Superblock level remounts are currently restricted to global
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, as is the path for changing the root mount to
read only on umount. Loosen both of these permission checks to
also allow CAP_SYS_ADMIN in any namespace which is privileged
towards the userns which originally mounted the filesystem.
