The BPF kfuncs built on these hooks dispatch each call on an object to the one LSM matching its lsmid, which resolves the containing object with container_of(); the framework never interprets an object beyond its lsmid. The type field discriminates between the owning LSM's own policy object kinds and is private to it, with 0 reserved as "unset" so a zeroed, untagged object fails every type check. from_fd has no object to route by: the fd refers to a file set up through the owning LSM's own userspace interface, so the fd itself identifies its LSM. The framework offers the fd to every implementation in turn; an LSM declines a fd that is not one of its policy objects with -EOPNOTSUPP, and any other error is a definitive translation failure. The hooks back referenced BPF kptrs, which imposes the same lifetime contract on every implementation: from_fd returns a reference on a live object, get acquires with inc-not-zero semantics and fails with -ENOENT once the count dropped to zero, put may be called from contexts that cannot sleep (BPF drives it from map destructors), and the containing object is freed only after an RCU grace period, as programs load policy object kptrs from maps under RCU and may examine an object concurrently with its last put. The hooks are excluded from the "bpf" LSM's attachment points. The object-routed hooks are unreachable there, as LSM_ID_BPF policy objects cannot exist; for from_fd, whose walk visits every implementation, a BPF program cannot fill the object out parameter, so an attachment returning 0 would hand the caller an uninitialized pointer.
