We already have FUSE_HANDLE_KILLPRIV flag that says that file server will remove suid/sgid/caps on truncate/chown/write. But that's little different from what Linux VFS implements. To be consistent with Linux VFS behavior what we want is. - caps are always cleared on chown/write/truncate - suid is always cleared on chown, while for truncate/write it is cleared only if caller does not have CAP_FSETID. - sgid is always cleared on chown, while for truncate/write it is cleared only if caller does not have CAP_FSETID as well as file has group execute permission. As previous flag did not provide above semantics. Implement a V2 of the protocol with above said constraints. Server does not know if caller has CAP_FSETID or not. So for the case of write()/truncate(), client will send information in special flag to indicate whether to kill priviliges or not. These changes are in subsequent patches. FUSE_HANDLE_KILLPRIV_V2 relies on WRITE being sent to server to clear suid/sgid/security.capability. But with ->writeback_cache, WRITES are cached in guest. So it is not recommended to use FUSE_HANDLE_KILLPRIV_V2 and writeback_cache together. Though it probably might be good enough for lot of use cases.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
