We had a discussion internally and also came the same conclusion (it's
okay to trust the BTF) and will remove sone of the "over-cautious"
checks in the next revision.

This one, however, in particular is to protect against the case when a
new member which is not a hlist_head is added to security_hook_heads
and the user-space tries to attach at that index.

I admit that the likelyhood of that happening is very little  but I
think it's worth checking. I do, like your idea and will update the
code to use the type_id and do a quick check rather than a linear
search to look for the type_id.

This is what remains of all the pedantic checks pertaining to
hlist_head:

	t = btf_type_by_id(btf, member->type);
	if (unlikely(!t))
		return -EINVAL;

	if (BTF_INFO_KIND(t->info) != BTF_KIND_STRUCT)
		return -EINVAL;

	if (t->size != sizeof(struct hlist_head))
		return -EINVAL;

Neat! Updated.

Yep, makes sense. Removed some of these checks.

I am already caching these types in the next patch (struct
bpf_lsm_info) of the series which implements attachment. I moved it to
this patch so that it's clearer.
