So that the LSM can see the credentials of the last process to do an fput() on a file object when the file object is being dismantled, do the following steps: (1) Cache the current credentials in file->f_fput_cred at the point the file object's reference count reaches zero. (2) In __fput(), use override_creds() to apply those credentials to the dismantling process. This is necessary so that if we're dismantling a unix socket that has semi-passed fds still in it, their fputs will pick up the same credentials if they're reduced to zero at that point. Note that it's probably not strictly necessary to take an extra ref on the creds here (which override_creds() does). (3) Destroy the fput creds in file_free_rcu(). This additionally makes the creds available to: fsnotify eventpoll file locking ->fasync, ->release file ops superblock destruction mountpoint destruction This allows various notifications about object cleanups/destructions to carry appropriate credentials for the LSM to approve/disapprove them based on the process that caused them, even if indirectly. Note that this means that someone looking at /proc/<pid>/fd/<n> may end up being inadvertently noted as the subject of a cleanup message if the process they're looking at croaks whilst they're looking at it. Further, kernel services like nfsd and cachefiles may be seen as the fputter and may not have a system credential. In cachefiles's case, it may appear that cachefilesd caused the notification.
