[PATCH 5/6] samples/landlock: Support POSIX message queue scoping

Oxana Kharitonova oxana at cloudflare.com
Wed Jul 22 12:29:41 UTC 2026


Teach the sandboxer sample to request LANDLOCK_SCOPE_POSIX_MSG_QUEUE
through LL_SCOPED.

Add the "q" scope selector for POSIX message queues and document it in
the sample help text. Also allow POSIX message queue denials to be
quieted with "posix_msg_queue" through LL_QUIET_ACCESS.
