Frankly, I'm not too familiar with SELinux. Originally this patch
series was developed by Daniel, in consultation with Stephen Smalley.
In my (probably naive) opinion we should fallback to transition
approach. But I'd request you to tell me if this needs to be addressed
now, and if so then what's the right approach.

If the decision is to address this now, then what's the best way to
check the SELinux label validity?

ANON_INODE__CREATE definitely seems more appropriate. I'll change it
in the next revision.

I'd definitely need help with both of these. Kindly guide how to proceed.
