Currently, it is possible to create an idmapped mount using a user namespace without any mappings. However, this yields an idmapped mount that doesn't actually map the ids. With the following change, it will no longer be possible to create an idmapped mount when using a user namespace with no mappings, and will instead return EINVAL, an “invalid argument” error code.

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.
