Thanks Dmitry for re-posting these 'directory integrity protection'
patches.
The patches have evolved nicely.  Perhaps not a formal changelog, but a
short
summary of the major changes, would have been nice.

Although these patches are probably bisect safe, as they rely on
Kconfig, the normal ordering of patches is to define a function and use
it in the same patch.  In the case, like here, where a new function/hook
is defined in one subsystem, but called from another, we can split them,
but the normal convention is to add the new function/hook first in one
patch, and then use it in a subsequent patch.

A short comment here, why -ECHILD is special, would be good.

No mention was made of this new hook.  This should be a separate patch,
with its own patch description.

thanks,
