Create a common helper function to determine the label for a new inode.  This
is then used by:

	- may_create()
	- selinux_dentry_init_security()
	- selinux_inode_init_security()
	- selinux_file_open_union()

This will change the behaviour of the first two functions slightly, bringing
them into line with the third.  The fourth function is newly created in a
preceding patch and applied only in the case of a filesystem union or overlay.

This doesn't quite match the logic in inode_init_security today, see its
checking of SBLABEL_MNT.

Let's drop this pr_warn call.

Fair point.  What does SBLABEL_MNT mean precisely?  It seems to indicate one
of an odd mix of behaviours.  I presume it means that we *have* to calculate a
label and can't get one from the underlying fs if it is not set.

Also, in:

	sbsec->flags |= SE_SBINITIALIZED;
	if (selinux_is_sblabel_mnt(sb))
		sbsec->flags |= SBLABEL_MNT;

should SE_SBINITIALIZED be set after SBLABEL_MNT?  And should there be a
memory barrier in here somewhere before the setting of SE_SBINITIALIZED?

It means the filesystem supports per-file labeling and you can use
setxattr(..."security.selinux") and setfscreatecon() for files on it.
You can see whether it is set on a filesystem by looking for the
seclabel option in cat /proc/mounts.  If it is not set, then we ignore
tsec->create_sid.  It is arguable as to whether it is correct to always
call security_transition_sid() there either, but that's another topic.

I believe that's all under sbsec->lock held by the caller, but that code
has changed a lot and been refactored significantly by others.

Okay, so how about the attached?

That looks good to me.  In fact, I'd take a patch that defines that
function and rewrites may_create(), inode_init_security(), and
dentry_init_security() to use it even before (or independent of) the
union support patches.

Except you can drop the caller argument now.
