Thank you. The LSM stacking seems to be working as expected. But this one should not be considered as a bug. If something went wrong before loading access control rules, it is pointless to continue. Thus, stopping with kernel panic. If this path is trivially triggered enough to prevent testing, syzbot can load access control rules from /etc/tomoyo/ directory of the filesystem image and make tomoyo_policy_loaded = true by executing /sbin/init . Hmm, maybe we need to think about automated testing environments where neither built-in access control rules nor run-time access control rules can be provided ... ? #syz invalid
