From: Stefan Berger <stefanb@linux.ibm.com>

Introduce the IMA_NS in Kconfig for IMA namespace enablement.

Enable the lazy initialization of an IMA namespace when a user mounts
SecurityFS. Now a user_namespace will get a pointer to an ima_namespace
and therefore add an implementation of get_current_ns() that returns this
pointer.

get_current_ns() may now return a NULL pointer for as long as the IMA
namespace hasn't been created, yet. Therefore, return early from those
functions that may now get a NULL pointer from this call. The NULL
pointer can typically be treated similar to not having an IMA policy set
and simply return early from a function.

Implement ima_ns_from_file() for SecurityFS-related files where we can
now get the IMA namespace via the user namespace pointer associated
with the superblock of the SecurityFS filesystem instance. Since
the functions using ima_ns_from_file() will only be called after an
ima_namesapce has been allocated they will never get a NULL pointer
for the ima_namespace.

Switch access to userns->ima_ns to use acquire/release semantics to ensure
that a newly created ima_namespace structure is fully visible upon access.

Replace usage of current_user_ns() with ima_ns_from_user_ns() that
implements a method to derive the user_namespace from the given
ima_namespace. It leads to the same result.

Since create_ima_ns() initializes user_ns->ima_ns via
smp_store_release() the patch currently implies that concurrent access
to user_ns->ima_ns are safe once create_ima_ns() returns.

Specifically, it entails that no caller will access entries in the ima
namespace that will only be filled in past this point. Afaict, this only
relates to the ns->policy_dentry which can't be accessed until
securityfs is finished.

Nonetheless, I would recommend that you change create_ima_ns() to not
initialize user_ns->ima_ns and instead defer this until everything in
the namespace is setup. So maybe move the smp_store_release() to the end
of ima_fs_ns_init(). If ns->policy_dentry wouldn't be stashed in ima_ns
it wouldn't matter but since it is I would not publish ima_ns before
this is set. Sm like (uncompiled, untested):

 out:
        securityfs_remove(ns->policy_dentry);
As a side-effect this will let you get rid of the bool created_ns and
thereby simplify the codeflow.
