+Landlock LSM: unprivileged access control
+=========================================
+
+:Author: Mickaël Salaün
+
+The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g.  global
+filesystem access) for a set of processes.  Because Landlock is a stackable
+LSM, it makes possible to create safe security sandboxes as new security layers
+in addition to the existing system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox
+is expected to help mitigate the security impact of bugs or
+unexpected/malicious behaviors in user-space applications. Landlock empowers
+any process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict themselves.

I guess this is the good place for kernel API documentation.

Shouldn't this go in Documentation/userspace-api/ instead?

Documentation/security/lsm-development.rst says that LSM documentation
should go to Documentation/admin-guide/LSM/ but this is not (like
seccomp) an admin documentation.
Should the Documentation/userspace-api/landlock.rst be linked from
Documentation/admin-guide/LSM/index.rst too?
