Re: [PATCH v9 0/5] Landlock: Add abstract unix socket connect restriction

["Mickaël Salaün" <mic@digikod.net>]

There are still some issues (mainly with tests) but overall the kernel
part looks good!  I pushed this patch series to the -next branch.  I'll
update with the next versions of this series.

I'll do the same with the next signal scoping patch series once the
lifetime issue that Jann reported is fixed.
