	 * SEALING
	 * Sealing allows multiple parties to share a tmpfs or hugetlbfs file
	 * but restrict access to a specific subset of file operations. Seals
	 * can only be added, but never removed. This way, mutually untrusted
	 * parties can share common memory regions with a well-defined policy.
	 * A malicious peer can thus never perform unwanted operations on a
	 * shared object.
	 *
	 * Seals are only supported on special tmpfs or hugetlbfs files and
	 * always affect the whole underlying inode. Once a seal is set, it
	 * may prevent some kinds of access to the file. Currently, the
	 * following seals are defined:
	 *   SEAL_SEAL: Prevent further seals from being set on this file
	 *   SEAL_SHRINK: Prevent the file from shrinking
	 *   SEAL_GROW: Prevent the file from growing
	 *   SEAL_WRITE: Prevent write access to the file
	 *
	 * As we don't require any trust relationship between two parties, we
	 * must prevent seals from being removed. Therefore, sealing a file
	 * only adds a given set of seals to the file, it never touches
	 * existing seals. Furthermore, the "setting seals"-operation can be
	 * sealed itself, which basically prevents any further seal from being
	 * added.
	 *
	 * Semantics of sealing are only defined on volatile files. Only
	 * anonymous tmpfs and hugetlbfs files support sealing. More
	 * importantly, seals are never written to disk. Therefore, there's
	 * no plan to support it on other file types.
