Somehow I no longer understand why do you need to take all locks. Isn't
the first filter's notify_lock enough? IOW,
for (cur = current->seccomp.filter; cur; cur = cur->prev) {
if (cur->notif)
return ERR_PTR(-EBUSY);
first = cur;
}
if (first)
mutex_lock(&first->notify_lock);
... initialize filter->notif ...
out:
if (first)
mutex_unlock(&first->notify_lock);
return ret;
