No, we don't. When ima_policy_open() is called we do current_user_ns()
but that will be guaranteed to be identical to filp->f_cred->user_ns.
And f_cred is a reference that has been taken when the vfs allocated a
struct file for this .open call so won't go away until the last fput.
My proposal is also too complicated, I think.
(The booster is giving me the same side-effects as my second shot so
this looks like two good days of fever and headache. So I'll use that as
an excuse. :))
Your patch series as it stands has a bit of a security issue with those
get_current_ns() calls across differnet file/seq_file operations.
You have to make an architectural decision, I think. I see two sensible
options:
1. The relevant ima_ns that .open/.read/.write operate on is always taken
to be the ima_ns of the filesystem's userns, i.e.
sb->s_user_ns->ima_ns.
This - but I'm not an ima person - makes the most sense to me and the
semantics are straightforward. If I write to a file to alter some
policy then I expect the ima namespace of the user namespace to be
affected that the securityfs instance was mounted in.
2. The relevant ima_ns that .open/.read/.write operate on is always
taken to be the one of the opener. I don't really like that as that
gets weird if for some complicated reason the caller is not located
in the userns the filesystem was mounted in (weird mount propagation
scenario or sm). It also feels strange to operate on an ima_ns that's
different from s_user_ns->ima_ns in a securityfs instance.
So I think I would propose you do sm:

securityfs: don't allow mounting from outside the filesystem's userns
If we ever need to allow that we should revisit the semantics.
