From: Daniel Colascione <dancol@google.com>

This change adds a new function, anon_inode_getfd_secure, that creates
anonymous-node file with individual non-S_PRIVATE inode to which security
modules can apply policy. Existing callers continue using the original
singleton-inode kind of anonymous-inode file. We can transition anonymous
inode users to the new kind of anonymous inode in individual patches for
the sake of bisection and review.

The new function accepts an optional context_inode parameter that
callers can use to provide additional contextual information to
security modules for granting/denying permission to create an anon inode
of the same type.

For example, in case of userfaultfd, the created inode is a
'logical child' of the context_inode (userfaultfd inode of the
parent process) in the sense that it provides the security context
required during creation of the child process' userfaultfd inode.

[Fix comment documenting return values of inode_init_security_anon()]
[Add context_inode description in comments to anon_inode_getfd_secure()]
[Remove definition of anon_inode_getfile_secure() as there are no callers]
[Make __anon_inode_getfile() static]
[Use correct error cast in __anon_inode_getfile()]
[Fix error handling in __anon_inode_getfile()]

At a high level this patch looks fine to me, but a few nits below.  Also as I
mentioned on the cover letter, it seems this should be split into two patches --
one for the fs changes and one for the security changes.

The comment for alloc_anon_inode() still claims that it uses a single inode.
It would be helpful to fix that comment.

The first sentence seems a bit off, gramatically.  Also, it seems there should
be a hint here as to why anyone would care whether the inode is singleton or
not.  Remember, people will be reading this code years down the line, and people
may not understand the exact problem you are trying to solve.

Would the following be accurate, or am I misunderstanding something?

/**
 * Like anon_inode_getfd(), but create a new !S_PRIVATE anon inode rather than
 * reuse the singleton anon inode, and call the init_security_anon() LSM hook.
 * This allows the inode to have its own security context and for a LSM to
 * reject creation of the inode.  An optional @context_inode argument is also
 * added to provide the logical "parent" of the new inode.  The LSM may use
 * @context_inode in init_security_anon(), but a reference to it is not held.

Unwanted whitespace change here.

EACCES, not EACCESS.  The spelling mistakes of decades past are still with us...
