cifs: Add data structures and functions for uid/gid to SID mapping (try #4)
Add data structures and functions necessary to map a uid and gid to SID.
These functions are very similar to the ones used to map a SID to uid and gid.
This time, instead of storing sid to id mapping sorted on a sid value,
id to sid is stored, sorted on an id.
A cifs upcall sends an id (uid or gid) and expects a SID structure
in return, if mapping was done successfully.
A failed id to sid mapping to EINVAL.
This patchset aims to enable chown and chgrp commands when
cifsacl mount option is specified, especially to Windows SMB servers.
Currently we can't do that. So now along with chmod command,
chown and chgrp work.
Winbind is used to map id to a SID. chown and chgrp use an upcall
to provide an id to winbind and upcall returns with corrosponding
SID if any exists. That SID is used to build security descriptor.
The DACL part of a security descriptor is not changed by either
chown or chgrp functionality.
cifs client maintains a separate caches for uid to SID and
gid to SID mapping. This is similar to the one used earlier
to map SID to id (as part of ID mapping code).
I tested it by mounting shares from a Windows (2003) server by
authenticating as two users, one at a time, as Administrator and
as a ordinary user.
And then attempting to change owner of a file on the share.
Depending on the permissions/privileges at the server for that file,
chown request fails to either open a file (to change the ownership)
or to set security descriptor.
So it all depends on privileges on the file at the server and what
user you are authenticated as at the server, cifs client is just a
conduit.
I compared the security descriptor during chown command to that
what smbcacls sends when it is used with -M OWNNER: option
and they are similar.
