Subject: [PATCH v8 08/10] samples/landlock: Add LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_NO_INHERIT to landlock-sandboxer
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 21:52:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260529015210.500291-9-utilityemal77@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260529015210.500291-1-utilityemal77@gmail.com>

Add a new LL_FS_NO_INHERIT environment variable to the sandboxer.
Paths listed in it are added with the LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_NO_INHERIT
flag, demonstrating how to set up a parent directory with broader
access than its children.

The flag is silently skipped on kernels older than ABI 10.

Notes:
    v7..v8 changes:
    
      * Reworded commit message.
      * Updated the ABI fallthrough comment to mention 'quiet or
        no_inherit flags'. No code change beyond the comment update.
