[Severity: High]
Per Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst (Developer's Certificate
of Origin), the Author header and Signed-off-by trailer must use a real
full human name rather than a single-word handle ("pandaWall").

[Severity: Low]
Is the second rule in layer_fs[] on dir_s1d3 redundant?

In layout1, dir_s1d3 (TMP_DIR/s1d1/s1d2/s1d3) is a subdirectory of
dir_s1d2, so the first rule on dir_s1d2 already grants both
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER and LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG to dir_s1d3.
Moreover, current_check_refer_path() requires LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER on
both parent directories, so if dir_s1d3 did not inherit from dir_s1d2, the
second rule omitting LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER would fail with EXDEV.

Because layer_fs[0] grants all handled filesystem rights in the domain on
dir_s1d2, collect_domain_accesses() in current_check_refer_path() also
returns true for both allow_parent1 and allow_parent2 and returns 0 early
before is_access_to_paths_allowed() checks LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_MAKE_REG.

Also, placing refer_with_net_layer here separates the
layer_dir_s1d1_refer, layer_dir_s1d1_execute, and layer_dir_s2d1_execute
rule definitions right above from the refer_denied_by_default1..4 tests
below that use them.
