Right now we determine if filesystem support vfs idmappings or not basing on the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag presence. This "static" way works perfecly well for local filesystems like ext4, xfs, btrfs, etc. But for network-like filesystems like fuse, cephfs this approach is not ideal, because sometimes proper support of vfs idmaps requires some extensions for the on-wire protocol, which implies that changes have to be made not only in the Linux kernel code but also in the 3rd party components like libfuse, cephfs MDS server and so on. We have seen that issue during our work on cephfs idmapped mounts [1] with Christian, but right now I'm working on the idmapped mounts support for fuse/virtiofs and I think that it is a right time for this extension.
