A few minor (or not) nitpicks, but overall I really like this series.

We may want to check the file type to make sure we set the
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_IOCTL_DEV right on char/block devices only, the same
way we already check with d_is_dir() [1].  From user space point of
view, it should not change much because a call to statfs(2) may already
be in place.  From kernel space point of view it would only be a matter
of checking the related inode in landlock_append_fs_rule().

Checking for the file type is not strictly necessarily, but I
implemented the d_is_dir() call and get_path_from_fd() checks to
encourage/force user space to check the file/directory on which it wants
to give access to (e.g. and not erroneously grant access to a whole file
hierarchy rather than a file thanks to statfs(2) information, not the
Landlock syscall itself).  Applications sandboxing themselves should not
be surprise that a file descriptor refers to a directory or a file, and
they should not require additional call to statfs(2).  Another
motivation was that I think this kind of conservative check would have
been difficult to implement later (with an option) because of the
potential user space architectural changes.  Finally, this kind of type
checking can be silently ignored with help from user space libraries
when needed.

About the char/block device check, it might also be a good idea for user
space to check the major/minor numbers to make sure they match
expectations (i.e. related IOCTL commands).

I'm convinced the get_path_from_fd() checks are good because special
files are not restricted (and can then be silently ignored without
impact), whereas a non-special file could still get a valid (super)set
of access rights (and maybe better follow the principle of least
astonishment?).  I'm wondering if checking dir/file was the best
decision, if this is enough, or if we should extend that to char/block
devices.  Any opinion an that?

We should first check landlock_file(file)->allowed_access as in
hook_file_truncate() to return as soon as possible for non-sandboxed
tasks.  Any other computation should be done after that (e.g. with an
is_device() helper).
