(Aside: you appear to be self-adding your Link: tags -- AIUI, this is
normally done by whoever pulls your series. I've only seen Link: tags
added when needing to refer to something else not included in the
series.)

I'd expect this to be named "release" rather than "put" since it doesn't
do any lifetime reference counting.

This is checking that the largest possible stored value is correctly
within the LANDLOCK_MAX_* macro value?
