You need two terminals:
$ = <USER>
# = root

$ unshare -Um
$ echo $$
<PID>
# echo "0 1000 1" > uid_map
# cp uid_map gid_map
# echo 1000 2000 1 >> uid_map
# echo 2000 3000 1 >> uid_map
# cat uid_map > /proc/<PID>/uid_map
# cat gid_map > /proc/<PID>/gid_map
$ mkdir ~/tmp ~/mnt
$ mount -t tmpfs tmpfs ~/tmp
$ pwd
/home/<USER>
# nsenter -t <PID> -m
# [setup ecryptfs on /home/<USER>/mnt using /home/<USER>/tmp]
$ cd ~/mnt
$ touch test
$ /sbin/setcap -n 1000 cap_dac_override+eip test
$ /sbin/getcap -n test
test = cap_dac_override+eip [rootid=1000]

Without the patch, I'm thinking that it will do a double translate and
end up with rootid=2000 in the user namespace, but I might well have
messed it up...

Let me know how this goes.

Thanks,
Miklos
