Beginning of the merge window we introduced the vfs{g,u}id_t types in
b27c82e12965 ("attr: port attribute changes to new types") and changed
various codepaths over including chown_common().
During that change we forgot to account for the case were the passed
ownership value is -1. In this case the ownership fields in struct iattr
aren't initialized but we rely on them being initialized by the time we
generate the ownership to pass down to the LSMs. All the major LSMs
don't care about the ownership values at all. Only Tomoyo uses them and
so it took a while for syzbot to unearth this issue.
Fix this by initializing the ownership fields and do it within the
retry_deleg block. While notify_change() doesn't alter the ownership
fields currently we shouldn't rely on it.
Since no kernel has been released with these changes this does not
needed to be backported to any stable kernels.

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.
