[PATCH 0/5] userns: bump idmap limits, fixes & tweaks

Christian I have looked through your code and I have found one real
issue and of things I want to twak
The real issue is reading nr_extents multiple times when reading a map.
That can introduce races that will allow walking past the end of the
array, if the first read is 0 but the second read is > 5.
I have also found a couple of tweaks that look like they are worth
implementing.
As all of these are very small and very straight forward I have
tested these and applied them all to my for-next branch
Eric W. Biederman (5):
userns: Don't special case a count of 0
userns: Simplify the user and group mapping functions
userns: Don't read extents twice in m_start
userns: Make map_id_down a wrapper for map_id_range_down
userns: Simplify insert_extent
