commit fd84bfdddd169c219c3a637889a8b87f70a072c2 upstream.
Ceph always inherits the SGID bit if it is set on the parent inode,
while the generic inode_init_owner does not do this in a few cases where
it can create a possible security problem (cf. [1]).
Update ceph to strip the SGID bit just as inode_init_owner would.
This bug was detected by the mapped mount testsuite in [3]. The
testsuite tests all core VFS functionality and semantics with and
without mapped mounts. That is to say it functions as a generic VFS
testsuite in addition to a mapped mount testsuite. While working on
mapped mount support for ceph, SIGD inheritance was the only failing
test for ceph after the port.
The same bug was detected by the mapped mount testsuite in XFS in
January 2021 (cf. [2]).

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.
