This is a nice helper function.  I think there are a couple of other
places where nice helpers like this could really clean things up.

This is an awfully ugly function ;)

Instead of actually walking the fd table and revoking permissions, would
doing a hook in generic_write_permission() help?  It might be easier to
switch back and forth.

What is special about "SYSV"?  

Do you care about VM_MAYWRITE as well here?

I'm not sure this function name matches what it does.  Are you trying to
determine whether or not a task shares any address space with another?
When I think of "shmem", I think of shmfs.

Why is init special-cased?  (these checks are near and dear to the
people doing containers :)

Can this be an inline function instead?

Is that using_shmem() check really necessary?  IF you're not a threaded
process and you get asked to demote your threads, I would imagine that
the code would fall out of the loop immediately.  What does this protect
against?

Might as well add brackets here.  Or, just kill the else{} block and
pull the code back to the lower indenting level.  The else is really
unnecessary because of the return;

Why not use strcmp?

This function looks awfully similar :).  Can you just pass that array in
as an argument, and get rid of one of the functions?

strcmp?

How about:

			level->iac_level = set_iac(token);
			if (level->iac_level != SLM_IAC_ERROR)
				rc = 0;
			break;

How about expanding this to a normal if()?

How about just 'if (rc)' just in case somebody decides to return a
different error code in the future?

Is that safe, or is will the spin_lock_init() version make the lock
debugging code happier?

This could probably be a much more generic function, no?  

inode_supports_xaddr()?  Seems like something that should check a
superblock flag or something.


Man, there's a lot of code in here.  ;)  I'll look over some more this
weekend.
