[ Upstream commit cffd0441872e7f6b1fce5e78fb1c99187a291330 ] do_change_type() and do_set_group() are operating on different aspects of the same thing - propagation graph. The latter asks for mounts involved to be mounted in namespace(s) the caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN for. The former is a mess - originally it didn't even check that mount *is* mounted. That got fixed, but the resulting check turns out to be too strict for userland - in effect, we check that mount is in our namespace, having already checked that we have CAP_SYS_ADMIN there. What we really need (in both cases) is * only touch mounts that are mounted. That's a must-have constraint - data corruption happens if it get violated. * don't allow to mess with a namespace unless you already have enough permissions to do so (i.e. CAP_SYS_ADMIN in its userns). That's an equivalent of what do_set_group() does; let's extract that into a helper (may_change_propagation()) and use it in both do_set_group() and do_change_type().

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.
