Right, I'll change that.

We could switch to u8, but I prefer to stick to size_t for array indexes
which enable to reduce the cognitive workload related to the size of
such array. ;) I guess there is enough info for compilers to optimize
such code anyway.

Hmm, this helper does multiple things which are necessary to know if we
need to return -EACCES or -EXDEV. Renaming it to is_fsrefer() would
require to inverse the logic and use boolean negations in the callers
(because of ordering). Renaming to something like without_fs_refer()
would not be completely correct because we also check if there is no
layer_masks, which indicated that it doesn't contain an access right
that should return -EACCES. This helper is named as such because the
underlying semantic is to check for such error code, which is a tricky.
I can rename it co contains_eacces() or something, but a longer name
would require to cut the caller lines to fit 80 columns. :|

No, it is the contrary, the bitmask is inverted and this loop check for
non-FS_REFER access rights that should then return -EACCES. For
instance, if a sandbox handles (and then restricts) MAKE_REG and REFER,
a request to link a regular file would contains both of these bits, and
the kernel should return -EACCES if MAKE_REG is not granted or -EXDEV if
the request is only denied because of REFER. The reparent_* tests check
the consistency of this behavior (with the exception of a
RENAME_EXCHANGE case, see [1]).

Yeah, I like such guarantee but it may not work without __always_inline.
I moved this check in the previous WARN_ON_ONCE().

Correct, that would work, but I prefer not to duplicate the logic of
granting access if it doesn't make the code more complex, which I think
is not the case here, and I'm reluctant to duplicate path_get/put()
calls. This loop break is a small optimization to avoid walking the path
one more step, and writing it this way looks cleaner and less
error-prone from my point of view.
