We've aligned setgid behavior over multiple kernel releases. The details
can be found in commit
cf619f891971 ("Merge tag 'fs.ovl.setgid.v6.2' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping") and
commit
426b4ca2d6a5 ("Merge tag 'fs.setgid.v6.0' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux").
Consistent setgid stripping behavior is now encapsulated in the
setattr_should_drop_sgid() helper which is used by all filesystems that
strip setgid bits outside of vfs proper. Usually ATTR_KILL_SGID is
raised in e.g., chown_common() and is subject to the
setattr_should_drop_sgid() check to determine whether the setgid bit can
be retained. Since nfsd is raising ATTR_KILL_SGID unconditionally it
will cause notify_change() to strip it even if the caller had the
necessary privileges to retain it. Ensure that nfsd only raises
ATR_KILL_SGID if the caller lacks the necessary privileges to retain the
setgid bit.
Without this patch the setgid stripping tests in LTP will fail:
> As you can see, the problem is S_ISGID (
0002000) was dropped on a

[...]
> chown02.c:57: TFAIL: testfile2: wrong mode permissions
0100700, expected
0102700
With this patch all tests pass.
