commit 4f11ada10d0ad3fd53e2bd67806351de63a4f9c3 upstream.
If st_uid/st_gid doesn't have a mapping in the mounter's user_ns, then
copy-up should fail, just like it would fail if the mounter task was doing
the copy using "cp -a".
There's a corner case where the "cp -a" would succeed but copy up fail: if
there's a mapping of the invalid uid/gid (65534 by default) in the user
namespace. This is because stat(2) will return this value if the mapping
doesn't exist in the current user_ns and "cp -a" will in turn be able to
create a file with this uid/gid.
This behavior would be inconsistent with POSIX ACL's, which return -1 for
invalid uid/gid which result in a failed copy.
For consistency and simplicity fail the copy of the st_uid/st_gid are
invalid.

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.
