Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/4] landlock: Fix layer composition of LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER

In-Reply-To: <20261108-b4-landlock-refer-nonfs-layer-v2-1-2b405fc1b3aa@gmail.com>
> In landlock_get_fs_access_mask(), only add the
> LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER right if any filesystem access rights are
> handled at all. This prevents us from accidentally treating
> non-filesystem layers as if they handled LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER.
>
> landlock_get_fs_access_mask() is used when initializing the layer
> masks for doing access right checks, so this bug meant that we
> unintentionally denied "refer" (e.g., link, rename) operations in
> layered cases, where the same operation would have been accepted if
> only either one of the two layers had been enforced. If the rulesets
> individually allow an operation, the composition of these rulesets
> should also allow it.
>
> The bug only manifests as soon as one other layer handles filesystem
> access rights. Otherwise, Landlock filesystem path walk is guarded by
> an early exit for the case that no filesystem-enforcing layer exists.
