      What were you trying to do that didn't work?
      Start virtiofsd with a non-root user, and enable a range of UID/GID to virtiofsd user namespace, then boot up a win2019 guest, and mount virtiofs with the mapping UID/GID. After the virtiofs was started, I tried to create a file in it, but failed.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:
      qemu-kvm-8.1.0-2.el9.x86_64
      kernel-5.14.0-367.el9.x86_64
      virtiofsd-1.7.2-1.el9.x86_64
      edk2-ovmf-20230524-3.el9.noarch
      virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-242

      How reproducible:
      100%

      Steps to reproduce
      1. add a common user on host

      [root@dell-per750-33 home]# useradd user1

      [root@dell-per750-33 home]# id user1
      uid=1001(user1) gid=1001(user1) groups=1001(user1)

      2. get subuid of the common user

      [root@dell-per750-33 home]# cat /etc/subuid
      test:100000:65536
      user1:165536:65536

      3. give executable permission for the common user's home dir
      [root@dell-per750-33 home]# chmod -R go+x user1

      4. create a shared dir under user1's home dir and give write permission for all users.
      [root@dell-per750-33 user1]# ll
      total 0
      drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 47 Nov 3 04:06 test

      5. switch to user1 and start virtiofsd with mapping list '--uid-map :0:165536:65536: --gid-map :0:165536:65536'
      [user1@dell-per750-33 root]$ /usr/libexec/virtiofsd --shared-dir /home/user1/test --socket-path /tmp/sock2 --uid-map :0:165536:65536: --gid-map :0:165536:65536:

      6. boot up win2019 guest and start virtiofs.exe to get a shared volume.
      virtiofs.exe -o 165536:165536

      7. Try to create a file in the shared volume z:

      Expected results
      Create file successfully.

      Actual results
      Failed to create a file, it said 'File Too Large...'

      Other info:
      when start virtiofs.exe without "UID:GID", can create a new file.
      virtiofs.exe -o 0:0 , also can create a new file.

      The file on host.
