nfsd: revoking of suid/sgid bits after chown() in a consistent way
There is an inconsistency in the handling of SUID/SGID file
bits after chown() between NFS and other local file systems.
Local file systems (for example, ext3, ext4, xfs, btrfs) revoke
SUID/SGID bits after chown() on a regular file even if
the owner/group of the file has not been changed:
~# touch file; chmod ug+s file; chmod u+x file
~# ls -l file
-rwsr-Sr-- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 04:49 file
~# chown root file; ls -l file
-rwxr-Sr-- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 04:49 file
but NFS doesn't do that:
~# touch file; chmod ug+s file; chmod u+x file
~# ls -l file
-rwsr-Sr-- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 04:49 file
~# chown root file; ls -l file
-rwsr-Sr-- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 04:49 file
NFS does that only if the owner/group has been changed:
~# touch file; chmod ug+s file; chmod u+x file
~# ls -l file
-rwsr-Sr-- 1 root root 0 Dec 6 05:02 file
~# chown bin file; ls -l file
-rwxr-Sr-- 1 bin root 0 Dec 6 05:02 file
See: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/chown.html
"If the specified file is a regular file, one or more of
the S_IXUSR, S_IXGRP, or S_IXOTH bits of the file mode are set,
and the process has appropriate privileges, it is
implementation-defined whether the set-user-ID and set-group-ID
bits are altered."
So both variants are acceptable by POSIX.
This patch makes NFS to behave like local file systems.
