Right now for xattr remapping, we support types of "prefix", "ok" or "bad".
Type "bad" returns -EPERM on setxattr and hides xattr in listxattr. For
getxattr, mapping code returns -EPERM but getxattr code converts it to -ENODATA.
I need a new semantics where if an xattr is unsupported, then
getxattr()/setxattr() return -ENOTSUP and listxattr() should hide the xattr.
This is needed to simulate that security.selinux is not supported by
virtiofs filesystem and in that case client falls back to some default
label specified by policy.
So add a new type "unsupported" which returns -ENOTSUP on getxattr() and
setxattr() and hides xattrs in listxattr().
For example, one can use following mapping rule to not support
security.selinux xattr and allow others.
"-o xattrmap=/unsupported/all/security.selinux/security.selinux//ok/all///"

fuse has an option FUSE_POSIX_ACL which needs to be opted in by fuse
server to enable posix acls. As of now we are not opting in for this,
so posix acls are disabled on virtiofs by default.
Add virtiofsd option "-o posix_acl/no_posix_acl" to let users enable/disable
posix acl support. By default it is disabled as of now due to performance
concerns with cache=none.
Currently even if file server has not opted in for FUSE_POSIX_ACL, user can
still query acl and set acl, and system.posix_acl_access and
system.posix_acl_default xattrs show up listxattr response.
Miklos said this is confusing. So he said lets block and filter
system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default xattrs in
getxattr/setxattr/listxattr if user has explicitly disabled
posix acls using -o no_posix_acl.
As of now continuing to keeping the existing behavior if user did not
specify any option to disable acl support due to concerns about backward
compatibility.

Different guest xattr prefixes have distinct access control rules applied
by the guest. When remapping a guest xattr care must be taken that the
remapping does not allow the a guest user to bypass guest kernel access
control rules.
For example if 'trusted.*' which requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN is remapped
to 'user.virtiofs.trusted.*', an unprivileged guest user which can
write to 'user.*' can bypass the CAP_SYS_ADMIN control. Thus the
target of any remapping must be explicitly blocked from read/writes
by the guest, to prevent access control bypass.
The examples shown in the virtiofsd man page already do the right
thing and ensure safety, but the security implications of getting
this wrong were not made explicit. This could lead to host admins
and apps unwittingly creating insecure configurations.

On Linux, the 'security.capability' xattr holds a set of
capabilities that can change when an executable is run, giving
a limited form of privilege escalation to those programs that
the writer of the file deemed worthy.
Any write causes the 'security.capability' xattr to be dropped,
stopping anyone from gaining privilege by modifying a blessed
file.
Fuse relies on the daemon to do this dropping, and in turn the
daemon relies on the host kernel to drop the xattr for it. However,
with the addition of -o xattrmap, the xattr that the guest
stores its capabilities in is now not the same as the one that
the host kernel automatically clears.
Where the mapping changes 'security.capability', explicitly clear
the remapped name to preserve the same behaviour.
This bug is assigned CVE-2021-20263.

The mapping rule system implemented in the last few patches is
extremely flexible, but not easy to use. Add a simple
'map' type as a sprinkling of sugar to make it easy.
e.g.
-o xattrmap=":map::user.virtiofs.:"
would be sufficient to prefix all xattr's
or
-o xattrmap=":map:trusted.:user.virtiofs.:"
would just prefix 'trusted.' xattr's and leave
everything else alone.

Add an option to define mappings of xattr names so that
the client and server filesystems see different views.
This can be used to have different SELinux mappings as
seen by the guest, to run the virtiofsd with less privileges
(e.g. in a case where it can't set trusted/system/security
xattrs but you want the guest to be able to), or to isolate
multiple users of the same name; e.g. trusted attributes
used by stacking overlayfs.
A mapping engine is used with 3 simple rules; the rules can
be combined to allow most useful mapping scenarios.
The ruleset is defined by -o xattrmap='rules...'.
This patch doesn't use the rule maps yet.

virtiofsd cannot run in a container because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to
create namespaces.
Introduce a weaker sandbox mode that is sufficient in container
environments because the container runtime already sets up namespaces.
Use chroot to restrict path traversal to the shared directory.
virtiofsd loses the following:
1. Mount namespace. The process chroots to the shared directory but
leaves the mounts in place. Seccomp rejects mount(2)/umount(2)
syscalls.
2. Pid namespace. This should be fine because virtiofsd is the only
process running in the container.
3. Network namespace. This should be fine because seccomp already
rejects the connect(2) syscall, but an additional layer of security
is lost. Container runtime-specific network security policies can be
used drop network traffic (except for the vhost-user UNIX domain
socket).

Right now we enable remote posix locks by default. That means when guest
does a posix lock it sends request to server (virtiofsd). But currently
we only support non-blocking posix lock and return -EOPNOTSUPP for
blocking version.
This means that existing applications which are doing blocking posix
locks get -EOPNOTSUPP and fail. To avoid this, people have been
running virtiosd with option "-o no_posix_lock". For new users it
is still a surprise and trial and error takes them to this option.
Given posix lock implementation is not complete in virtiofsd, disable
it by default. This means that posix locks will work with-in applications
in a guest but not across guests. Anyway we don't support sharing
filesystem among different guests yet in virtiofs so this should
not lead to any kind of surprise or regression and will make life
little easier for virtiofs users.
