After installing the anonymous fd, we can now see it in userland and close
it. However, at this point we may not have gotten the reference count of
the cache, but we will put it during colse fd, so this may cause a cache
UAF.

So grab the cache reference count before fd_install(). In addition, by
kernel convention, fd is taken over by the user land after fd_install(),
and the kernel should not call close_fd() after that, i.e., it should call
fd_install() after everything is ready, thus fd_install() is called after
copy_to_user() succeeds.

How about:

int cachefiles_ondemand_get_fd(struct cachefiles_req *req, int *fd,
struct file *file) ?

It isn't worth introducing a new structure as it is used only for
parameter passing.

It's just a different code style preference, and internally we think

it makes the code look clearer when encapsulated this way.

When cachefiles_ondemand_get_fd() returns failure, anon_file->file is
not used, and thus I don't think it is worth resetting anon_file->file
to NULL. Or we could assign fd and struct file at the very end when all
succeed.
Nulling pointers that are no longer in use is a safer coding convention,
which goes some way to avoiding double free or use-after-free.
Moreover it's in the error branch, so it doesn't cost anything.
