[PATCH 1/1] squashfs: enable idmapped mounts
From: Michael Weiß
Date: Mon Oct 24 2022 - 17:12:24 EST
For squashfs all needed functionality for idmapped mounts is already
implemented by the generic handlers in the VFS. Thus, it is sufficient
to just enable the corresponding FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag to support
idmapped mounts.
We use this for unprivileged (user namespaced) containers based on
squashfs images as rootfs in GyroidOS.
A simple test using the mount-idmapped tool executed as user with
uid=1000 looks as follows:
$ mkdir test
$ echo "test" > test/test_file
$ mksquashfs test/ fs.img
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/test
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/mapped
$ sudo mount fs.img -o loop /mnt/test/
$ sudo ./mount-idmapped --map-mount b:1000:2000:1 /mnt/test/ /mnt/mapped/
$ mount | tail -n2
fs.img on /mnt/test type squashfs (ro,relatime,errors=continue)
fs.img on /mnt/mapped type squashfs (ro,relatime,idmapped,errors=continue)
$ ls -lan /mnt/test/
