[PATCH v2 14/11] fuse: allow splicing to trusted mounts only

From: Ahelenia Ziemiańska
Date: Sun Dec 24 2023 - 00:02:10 EST


FUSE tends to be installed suid 0: this allows normal users to mount
anything, including a program whose write implementation consists
of for(;;) sleep(1);, which, if splice were allowed, would sleep
forever with the pipe lock held.

Normal filesystems can only be mounted by root, and are thus deemed
safe. Extend this to when root mounts a FUSE filesystem and to
virtiofs, mirroring the splice_read "trusted" logic.
