Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Critical] Replacing the legacy `sb_mount` and `move_mount` LSM hooks with new granular mount hooks without updating the VFS callers completely drops Landlock's (as well as AppArmor's and SELinux's) mount sandbox protections.

landlock: Convert from sb_mount to granular mount hooks

This commit replaces Landlock's legacy sb_mount and move_mount hooks
with granular mount hooks (mount_bind, mount_new, etc.). The new hooks
are wired to a common helper that denies all mount operations for
sandboxed processes.

[Severity: Critical]
Does this conversion inadvertently bypass Landlock's mount protections?

Looking at path_mount() in fs/namespace.c, the VFS still relies on the legacy
security_sb_mount() API:

fs/namespace.c:path_mount() {
    ...
    ret = security_sb_mount(dev_name, path, type_page, flags, data_page);
    ...
}

And this wrapper strictly evaluates the legacy sb_mount hook list:

security/security.c:security_sb_mount() {
    return call_int_hook(sb_mount, dev_name, path, type, flags, data);
}

Similarly, vfs_move_mount() in fs/namespace.c still calls the legacy
security_move_mount() API.

Because this patch removes sb_mount and move_mount from landlock_hooks, won't
these VFS calls find an empty hook list for Landlock and unconditionally return
0 (success), allowing unprivileged sandboxed processes to perform unauthorized
mounts?
