[PATCH v4 4/6] landlock/selftests: Test named UNIX domain socket restrictions

Sun Feb 8 23:10:14 UTC 2026


* Exercise the access right for connect() and sendmsg() on named UNIX
  domain sockets, in various combinations of Landlock domains and
  socket types.
* Extract common helpers from an existing IOCTL test that
  also uses pathname unix(7) sockets.

The tested combinations are the cross product of these sets of fixture
fields:

* {{.handled=RESOLVE_UNIX},
   {.handled=RESOLVE_UNIX, .allowed=RESOLVE_UNIX}}
* {{.sock_type=SOCK_STREAM},
   {.sock_type=SOCK_DGRAM},
   {.sock_type=SOCK_DGRAM, .use_sendto=true},
   {.sock_type=SOCK_SEQPACKET}}
* {{.server_in_same_domain=false},
   {.server_in_same_domain=true}}

Some additional fixtures exercise scenarios with two nested domains.
