Since we do not need the pinning of the filesystem for the virtualization
^namespacing case
case, limit the usage of simple_pin_fs() and simpe_release_fs() to the
^simple_release_fs
case when the init_user_ns is active. This simplifies the cleanup for the
virtualization case where usage of securityfs_remove() to free dentries
^namespacing
is therefore not needed anymore.
For the initial securityfs, i.e. the one mounted in the host userns mount,
nothing changes. The rules for securityfs_remove() are as before and it is
still paired with securityfs_create(). Specifically, a file created via
securityfs_create_dentry() in the initial securityfs mount still needs to
be removed by a call to securityfs_remove(). Creating a new dentry in the
initial securityfs mount still pins the filesystem like it always did.
Consequently, the initial securityfs mount is not destroyed on
umount/shutdown as long as at least one user of it still has dentries that
it hasn't removed with a call to securityfs_remove().
Prevent mounting of an instance of securityfs in another user namespace
than it belongs to. Also, prevent accesses to files and directories by
a user namespace that is neither the user namespace it belongs to
nor an ancestor of the user namespace that the instance of securityfs
belongs to. Do not prevent access if securityfs was bind-mounted and
therefore the init_user_ns is the owning user namespace.

Christian, I understand that "[PATCH v10 23/27] ima: Setup securityfs
for IMA namespace" needs to be deferred, but is there a reason for
deferring "[PATCH v10 22/27] securityfs: Extend securityfs with
namespacing support"? As the securityfs patches are really
independent of IMA namespacing, I would have thought "[PATCH v10
04/27] securityfs: rework dentry creation" and this patch should be co-
located at the beginning of the patch set.
It felt more natural to me to defer it until the end but I have no
strong thoughts on this as of right now. Since Stefan has mentioned
moving this earlier already himself and you seem to agree as well, feel
free to do so.
I'll move it after 'securityfs: rework dentry creation' if that's ok.
Stefan
