Re: linux-next: build failure after merge of the landlock tree

Thanks Stephen, your patch is good! I tested it with the merge of my
branch and LSM/dev-staging.

The new Landlock changes (tested in -next for a few weeks) add a new
call to security_add_hooks() which gets a new signature with commit
9b09f11320db ("LSM: Identify modules by more than name") from
the LSM/dev-staging branch [1].

I plan to send a PR with my branch in the next merge window (for
v6.7-rc1).

We should squash Stephen's patch in commit 9b09f11320db ("LSM:
Identify modules by more than name") but it would not be possible
without my branch. I see two solutions:
* keep Stephen's patch in -next only, or
* rebase LSM/dev-staging on my branch now, and rebase it later on
  v6.7-rc1 once my branch is merged (which is the workflow described in
  [1]).

Paul, what do you think?
