[PATCH v2 2/5] landlock: Control pathname UNIX domain socket resolution by path

Günther Noack gnoack3000 at gmail.com
Sat Jan 10 14:32:59 UTC 2026


* Add new access rights which control the look up operations for named
  UNIX domain sockets.  The resolution happens during connect() and
  sendmsg() (depending on socket type).
  * LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX_STREAM
  * LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX_DGRAM
  * LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX_SEQPACKET
* Hook into the path lookup in unix_find_bsd() in af_unix.c, using a
  LSM hook.  Make policy decisions based on the new access rights
* Increment the Landlock ABI version.
* Minor test adaptions to keep the tests working.
