[PATCH 0/4] landlock.7: Code example improvements

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Various improvements as pointed out by Mickaël Salaün in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-man/5d90e3b0-1577-7efd-03b8-f94b6e50fbc1@xxxxxxxxxxx/

* Checking system call results differently, for consistency
* Use constants for the compatibility table
  (I'm not very attached to the other solution)
* Better wording for error message if Landlock unusable
* Return instead of exit() if Landlock unusable

Regarding the EOPNOTSUPP/ENOTSUP discussion, the consensus seems to be
that EOPNOTSUPP is preferable, because that is the only of the two
error codes that the kernel knows about.

Günther Noack (4):
  landlock.7: Check syscall result with == -1 instead of <= 0
  landlock.7: Use LANDLOCK_* constants for compatibility table
  landlock.7: wfix: Error message wording in code example
  landlock.7: Return instead of exit() if Landlock is unusable
