So what do you think where the inodes come from for syscalls like fchmod? Out
of struct file, of course. But your f_op->getattr and f_op->setattr patches
are meant for passing struct file down to filesystems anyway, so that
completely contradicts what you are saying above.
That's nothing but a replacement for ATTR_FILE and iattr->ia_file. Except by
removing the ATTR_FILE flag, LSMs will no longer get that information for
distinguishing file descriptor operations from other operations.
AppArmor needs to know when notify_change is called on a file descriptor, but
it doesn't care about the file descriptor itself. So any way of passing along
that information will be fine.
