Instead of allocating memory for file->f_security, it uses
file->f_security itself, for storing 0 or 1. So it isn't
checking to see if it is NULL per se.

For file and task, the code uses the security field itself to store
information as opposed to allocating storage for it. In the case of
inode, it is using it for both the original digsig mmap tracking and
now to tag the inode that it needs to be measured. Tagging the inode
to be measured is based on the existence of the security.measure xattr,
which is controlled by a userspace application. The difference is
that storage is allocated for inode->i_security.

Yes, that definitely is a good idea. Will do.

Ok.

Correct, the filename is not used for any security decision, but it
is passed to integrity_measure(), which the IMA integrity provider
associates with the given hash value. To see the filename hints
'cat /sys/kernel/security/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements'.
