Merge tag 'vfs-7.2-rc8.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:

 - Don't warn when a mount is completed from another user namespace.

   fsopen() records the caller's user namespace in fc->user_ns and
   hands back an ordinary file descriptor. The task that calls
   fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE) doesn't have to be the one that
   created the context, and mount_capable() lets it through as long
   as the caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN over fc->user_ns, which anyone in
   an ancestor namespace does. So fc->user_ns != current_user_ns()
   is something an unprivileged user can arrange.

   Both overlayfs and binfmt_misc WARN_ON() that. Overlayfs already
   has the same check as a plain error return in ovl_parse_param().

   Drop the WARN_ON() and just refuse. Add selftests for both cases.

 - Reject pid allocations through dead ancestor pid namespaces.

   Require PIDNS_ADDING in every namespace that will receive the pid
   before publishing any of them. That preserves the invariant that
   free_pid() never decrements pid_allocated in a namespace whose
   child_reaper is no longer live. The existing ENOMEM behavior is
   unchanged.
