s_landlock_inode_refs is quite similar to s_fsnotify_inode_refs, but I
can do it once the superblock security blob patch is upstream. Is it a
blocker for now? What is the current status of lbs_superblock?
Anyway, we also need to have a call to landlock_release_inodes() in
generic_shutdown_super(), which does not fit the LSM framework, and I
think it is not an issue. Landlock handling of inodes is quite similar
to fsnotify.
