[RFC PATCH 2/5] landlock: Control connections to pathname UNIX sockets by path

Günther Noack gnoack3000 at gmail.com
Thu Jan 1 13:40:59 UTC 2026


* Add the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_CONNECT_UNIX right.
* Hook into the path lookup in unix_find_bsd() in af_unix.c,
  using a LSM hook.  Decide based on the new access right.
* Increment the Landlock ABI version.
* Minor test adaptions to keep the tests working.
