If we contrast this with debugfs which has the same underlying logic as securityfs. It uses a similar pairing as securityfs. Where securityfs has the securityfs_create_dentry() and securityfs_remove() pairing, debugfs has the __debugfs_create_file() and debugfs_remove() pairing. In contrast to securityfs, debugfs doesn't take an additional reference on the newly created dentry in __debugfs_create_file() which would need to be put in debugfs_remove(). The additional dget() isn't a problem per se. In the current implementation of securityfs each created dentry pins the filesystem via until it is removed. Since it is virtually guaranteed that there is at least one user of securityfs that has created dentries the initial securityfs mount cannot go away until all dentries have been removed. Since most of the users of the initial securityfs mount don't go away until the system is shutdown the initial securityfs won't go away when unmounted. Instead a mount will usually surface the same superblock as before. The additional dget() doesn't matter in this scenario since it is required that all dentries have been cleaned up by the respective users before the superblock can be destroyed, i.e. superblock shutdown is tied to the lifetime of the associated dentries. However, in order to support ima namespaces we need to extend securityfs to support being mounted outside of the initial user namespace. For namespaced users the pinning logic doesn't make sense. Whereas in the initial namespace the securityfs instance and the associated data structures of its users can't go away for reason explained earlier users of non-initial securityfs instances do go away when the last users of the namespace are gone. So for those users we neither want to duplicate the pinning logic nor make the global securityfs instance display different information based on the namespace. Both options would be really messy and hacky. Instead we will simply give each namespace its own securityfs instance similar to how each ipc namespace has its own mqueue instance and all entries in there are cleaned up on umount or when the last user of the associated namespace is gone. This means that the superblock's lifetime isn't tied to the dentries. Instead the last umount, without any fds kept open, will trigger a clean shutdown. But now the additional dget() gets in the way. Instead of being able to rely on the generic superblock shutdown logic we would need to drop the additional dentry reference during superblock shutdown for all associated users. That would force the use of a generic coordination mechanism for current and future users of securityfs which is unnecessary. Simply remove the additional dget() in securityfs_dentry_create(). In securityfs_remove() we will call dget() to take an additional reference on the dentry about to be removed. After simple_unlink() or simple_rmdir() have dropped the dentry refcount we can call d_delete() which will either turn the dentry into negative dentry if our earlier dget() is the only reference to the dentry, i.e. it has no other users, or remove it from the hashqueues in case there are additional users. All of these changes should not have any effect on the userspace semantics of the initial securityfs mount.
