Bug Description

SRU Justification

Impact:
Currently shiftfs allows to exceed project quota and reserved space on e.g. ext2. See https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/6333 for a report, specifically https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/6333#issuecomment-545154838. This is caused by overriding the credentials with the superblock creator's credentials whenever we perform operations such as fallocate() or writes while retaining CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.

Fix:
Drop CAP_SYS_RESOURCE at superblock creation time from the effective capability set.

Regression Potential:
Limited to shiftfs. Dropping CAP_SYS_RESOURCE from the effective capability set should be fine and actually give us more security.

Test Case:
Try to exceed project quotas on a kernel and filesystem that supports them and see that it fails with the mentioned fix applied.

Target Kernels:
All LTS kernels with shiftfs support.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-eoan' to 'verification-done-eoan'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-eoan' to 'verification-failed-eoan'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.
