[PATCH 1/1] landlock: Mention -1 return code on failure

From: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>
Date: 2024-07-12 13:09:10
Also in: linux-security-module
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Mention -1 return code on failure for landlock_add_rule(),
landlock_create_ruleset() and landlock_restrict_self().

Although it's a common rule to return -1 on error, it's better to be
explicit (as the other man pages are).

Fixes: a01d04a69 ("landlock_add_rule.2: Document new syscall")
Fixes: ca5163697 ("landlock_create_ruleset.2: Document new syscall")
Fixes: 3f7e4f808 ("landlock_restrict_self.2: Document new syscall")
Signed-off-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>

FYI we test return codes in LTP.
