Vivek pointed out that the fs{g,u}id_into_mnt() naming scheme can be
misleading as it could be understood as implying they do the exact same
thing as i_{g,u}id_into_mnt(). The original motivation for this naming
scheme was to signal to callers that the helpers will always take care
to map the k{g,u}id such that the ownership is expressed in terms of the
mnt_users.
Get rid of the confusion by renaming those helpers to something more
sensible. Al suggested mapped_fs{g,u}id() which seems a really good fit.
Usually filesystems don't need to bother with these helpers directly
only in some cases where they allocate objects that carry {g,u}ids which
are either filesystem specific (e.g. xfs quota objects) or don't have a
clean set of helpers as inodes have.

README
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.
