Hello!

Thanks for sending round 2 of this patch set!

It might be worth briefly spelling out in documentation that access_request in
current_check_access_socket() may only have a single bit set.  This is different
to other places where access_mask_t is used, where combinations of these flags
are possible.

These functions do checks for special cases using "if (access_request ==
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_CONNECT_TCP)" and the same for "bind".  I think it's a
reasonable way to simplify the implementation here, but we have to be careful to
not accidentally use it differently.

It is a preexisting issue, so I don't consider it a blocker, but it might be
worth fixing while we are at it?

Re-reading the implementation of this function, it was surprised how specialized
it is towards the "connect" and "bind" use cases, which it has specific code
paths for.  This does not look like it would extend naturally to additional
operations.

After your refactoring, current_check_access_socket() is now (a) checking that
we are looking at a TCP address, and extracting the port, and then (b) doing
connect- and bind-specific logic, and then (c) calling check_access_socket().

Would it maybe be possible to turn the code logic around by creating a
"get_tcp_port()" helper function for step (a), and then doing all of (a), (b)
and (c) directly from hook_socket_bind() and hook_socket_connect()?  It would
have the upside that in step (b) you don't need to distinguish between bind and
connect because it would be clear from the context which of the two cases we are
in.  It would also remove the need for a function that only supports one bit in
the access_mask_t, which is potentially surprising.

Thanks,
