> + if (path.mnt->mnt_root != path.dentry) { You want to verify that you can only create tokens from the root of the bpffs mount. So for sudo mount -t bpf bpf /mnt you want bpf tokens to be creatable from: fd = open("/mnt") or from bind-mounts of the fs root: sudo mount --bind /mnt /srv fd = open("/srv") but not from sudo mount --bind /mnt/foo /opt fd = open("/opt") But I think your current check allows for that because if you bind-mount /mnt/foo to /opt then fd = open("/opt") path.mnt->mnt_root == foo and path.dentry == foo I think path.dentry != path.mnt->mnt_sb->s_root should give you what you want.
