What's the problem > with that? This can be explained with the interleaved_masked_accesses test: https://github.com/landlock-lsm/linux/blob/landlock-v24/tools/testing/selftests/landlock/fs_test.c#L647 In this case there is 4 stacked layers: layer 1: allows s1d1/s1d2/s1d3/file1 layer 2: allows s1d1/s1d2/s1d3 denies s1d1/s1d2 layer 3: allows s1d1 layer 4: allows s1d1/s1d2 In the v23, access to file1 would be allowed until layer 3, but layer 4 would merge a new rule for the s1d2 inode. Because we don't record where exactly the access come from, we can't tell that layer 2 allowed access thanks to s1d3 and that its s1d2 rule was ignored. I think this behavior doesn't make sense from the user point of view. In the v24, access to file1 would only be allowed with layer 1. The layer 2, would deny access to file1 because of the s1d2 rule. This makes the reasoning consistent and deterministic whatever the layers are, while storing the same access and layer bits. But I agree that this may not be desirable. In a perfect v25, file1 should be allowed by all these layers. I didn't find a simple solution to this while minimizing the memory allocated by rule (cf. struct landlock_rule: mainly 32-bits for access rights and 64-bits for the layers that contributed to this ANDed accesses). I would like to avoid storing 32-bits access rights per stacked layer. Do you see another solution? > >> which could be replaced by a proper cache mechanism.
