From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

The upcoming RWF_ENCODED operation introduces some security concerns:

1. Compressed writes will pass arbitrary data to decompression
   algorithms in the kernel.
2. Compressed reads can leak truncated/hole punched data.

Therefore, we need to require privilege for RWF_ENCODED. It's not
possible to do the permissions checks at the time of the read or write
because, e.g., io_uring submits IO from a worker thread. So, add an open
flag which requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN. It can also be set and cleared with
fcntl(). The flag is not cleared in any way on fork or exec; it should
probably be used with O_CLOEXEC in most cases.

Note that the usual issue that unknown open flags are ignored doesn't
really matter for O_ALLOW_ENCODED; if the kernel doesn't support
O_ALLOW_ENCODED, then it doesn't support RWF_ENCODED, either.

It seemed like you agreed to require O_CLOEXEC to be set when using 
O_ALLOW_ENCODED in your last go around, what happened to that?  I know I'd feel 
better if we had that requirement, and if we aren't I'd like to know why we 
can't.  Thanks,

Josef

Yup I was still on the fence about it since it's a bit of an awkward
requirement, but I'm convinced now that we might as well be safe and
require it.
