Looks like this is the fh/ext_fh union in struct fanotify_fid, field
"fid" in struct fanotify_event. Given that "fid" is itself in a union
against a struct path, I think instead of a whitelist using
KMEM_CACHE_USERCOPY(), this should just use a bounce buffer to avoid
leaving a whitelist open for path or ext_fh exposure.

Maybe something like this (untested):

I tested. Patch is fine by me with minor nit.

Do you mean to protect it from a situation when some other code (i.e. not
copy_fid_to_user()) would be tricked into copying ext_fh containing slab
pointer to userspace?

Yes. That's the design around the usercopy hardening. The
"whitelisting" is either via code (with a bounce buffer, so only the
specific "expected" code path can copy it), with a
kmem_create_usercopy() range marking (generally best for areas that
are not unions or when bounce buffers would be too big/slow), or with
implicit whitelisting (via a constant copy size that cannot change at
run-time, like: copy_to_user(dst, src, 6)).

In this case, since there are multiple unions in place and
FANOTIFY_INLINE_FH_LEN is small, it seemed best to go with a bounce
buffer.

OK, makes sense. I'll replace tha patch using kmem_create_usercopy() in my
tree with a variant you've suggested.
