Hi Mickaël

Can you check the above comment please ?
I also find it difficult to understand how can_trace_child is set.

On this line:
can_trace_child = !variant->domain_parent &&
  yama_ptrace_scope < 2;

it translates to
can_trace_child is true when 1> && 2>
1> when parent process don't have landlock policy
2> yama_ptrace_scope = 0 or 1.

My question is:
When the parent process has a landlock policy, and 2 is true,
the parent can also trace the child process, right ?
So 1> is not necessary in theory ?

As reference:  the latest code (after updating the rest of comments in V7)
can be found at patchset 8 of
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/4084253

Thanks
Jeff
