Accessing VMA fields without any kind of lock is... very much not advised.

I'm guessing you meant to say:

	ret = security_mmap_file(file, prot, flags);

Here? :)

I see the original code did this, but obviously was under an mmap lock.

I guess given you check that the file is the same below this.... should be
fine? Assuming nothing can come in and invalidate the security_mmap_file()
check in the mean time somehow?

Jann any thoughts?
