This comment has confused me the last few times I looked at this. I see
now you're using "bind-mounted" as a shortcut for saying "bind mounted from
the init_user_ns into a child_user_ns container". I do think that needs
to be made clearer in this comment.
Should the init_user_ns really be special here? What if I'm running a
first level container with uptodate userspace that mounts its own
securityfs, but in that i want to run a nested older userspace that
bind mounts the parent securityfs? Is there a good reason to deny that?
It would seem to me the better check would be
if (!is_original_mounter_of(current_user_ns, inode->i_sb->s_user_ns) &&
!in_userns(current_user_ns(), inode->i_sb->s_user_ns))
err = -EACCESS;
the is_original_mounter_of() would require the user_ns to cache first
its parent securityfs userns, and, when a task in the user_ns mounts
securityfs, then cache its own userns. (without a reference).
If current_user_ns() has mounted a securityfs for a user_ns other than
inode->i_sb->s_user_ns (or init_user_ns), then reject the mount.
Otherwise check current_user_ns()->parent, etc, until init_user_ns.
If you reach init_user_ns, or an ns which mounted inode->i_sb->s_user_ns,
then allow, else deny.
It's the kind of special casing we've worked hard to avoid in other
namespaces.

So ... it's less work for the kernel to skip the simple_pin_fs()
here, but it's more code, and more confusing code, to skip it.
So I just want to ask, to make sure: is it worth it? Or should
it just be done for all namespaces here (and below and for release),
for shorter, simpler, easier to read and grok code?
