Public bug reported:
SRU Justification
Impact: Stéphane reported regression for btrfs workloads employing shiftfs.
Unprivileged users can already toggle whether a subvolume will be ro or
rw. This is broken on current shiftfs as we haven't whitelisted these
ioctls().
Fix: To enable this with shiftfs we need to whitelist BTRFS_IOC_FS_INFO,
BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_GETFLAGS, BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_SETFLAGS. All of them should
be safe for unprivileged users.
Regression Potential: Limited to shiftfs.
Test Case: Tested with LXD running shiftfs on top of btrfs and verified
btrfs subvolumes can be made ro or rw.
** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
