Hello! Thank you for sending these patches! I'll start poking a bit at the Go-Landlock library to see how we can support it there when this lands.

It seems to me that the kernel would be able to convert it to network byte order very easily internally and in a single place -- why ask all of the users to deal with that complexity?

We now have a ruleset with the first rule allowing ^^^^^^ "through" a SUID binary?
