Yes, it would be cleaner, but I'm suggesting you do all the hard work
making it generic. Then the rest of us can follow your lead. Its more
likely that you'll get it right. At a high level, it might look like:
/* Permit root in a non-init user_ns to modify the security
* namespace xattr equivalents (eg. nscapability, ns_ima, etc).
*/
if ((current_user_ns() != &init_user_ns) &&
capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(inode, CAP_SETFCAP)) {
if security..capability
call capability /* set nscapability? */
else if security.ima
call ima /* set ns_ima? */
}
