Uhm, it seems unfortunately more complicated.

Calling security_old_inode_init_security() allows filesystems to get
the xattr, do some calculations (e.g. for reservation) and then write
the xattr.

The initxattrs() callback to be passed to
security_inode_init_security() is meant to let filesystems provide a
filesystem-specific way of writing the xattrs, just after LSMs provided
them. This seems incompatible with the old behavior, as a filesystem
might need to do the calculations in the middle before writing the
xattrs.

The initxattrs() callback, when security_old_inode_init_security() was
used, is just a way of emulating the old behavior, i.e. returning the
xattr to the caller.

It should be possible, I guess, to handle more xattrs but if the code
was designed to handle one, it would be better if the filesystem
maintainers add support for it.

Thanks
