Buffer- and surface sharing is done by passing an opaque (not mmap) handle.
A process intending to map the shared buffer must obtain the map offset 
through a
vmw_user_dmabuf_reference() call, and that only works if the buffer is 
"shareable".
mmap offsets are never passed between processes, but valid only if 
obtained directly
from the kernel driver.

This means that currently buffer mapping should have the same access 
restriction as the
X server imposes on DRI clients; If a process is allowed to open the drm 
device, it also has
map access to all "shareable" objects, which is a security hole in the 
sense that verify_access() should
really check that the caller, if not the buffer owner, is also 
authenticated.

The reason verify_access() is there is to make the TTM buffer object 
transparent to how it is exported
to user space (GEM or TTM objects). Apparently the GEM TTM drivers have 
ignored this hook for some unknown
reason.

Some ideas:
1) Rather than having a list of allowable files on each buffer object, 
perhaps we should have a user and a group and
a set of permissions (for user, group and system) more like how files 
are handled?

2) Rather than imposing a security policy in the vma manager, could we 
perhaps have a set a utility functions that
are called through verify_access(). Each driver could then have a 
wrapper to gather the needed information and
hand it over to the VMA manager?

Yes. This seems odd, but IIRC the lookups are from different hash 
tables. The unref() call
makes a lookup in a hash table private to the file.
