You are (always) right. :)

There are two options:
1) Submit patches to pass down the vfsmounts to the vfs helpers so that
they can be passed to the existing security_inode hooks. -or-
2) Submit patches to add new security hooks to the callers where the
vfsmount is already available (some have suggested moving the existing
security_inode hooks to the callers, but that would cause problems for
SELinux as I've posted elsewhere, so adding new hooks is preferable, and
then SELinux can just default to the dummy functions for those new
hooks).

Thank you for your suggestions. I drew a diagram. Is this correct?
