Hi Mickaël, (Answering in v1 since I want to quote something in this cover letter)
There is only a v1 for this specific series, but other series (with higher versions) are now relying on this one. ;)

I used a simple coding style for the initial Landlock code. However, this may be subject to different interpretations. To avoid relying on tacit knowledge or text editors for these kind of rules, let's automate it as much as possible thanks to clang-format. This makes the code formatting simple, consistent and impersonal.Thanks for moving your subsystem to `clang-format`. I am glad you found it useful.quoted
Several versions of clang-format can be use but they may have (small) different behaviors for undefined/new configuration parts. After testing different versions, I picked clang-format-14 which is relatively new and fixes a bug present in version 11 to 13 (visible in the Landlock formatted code).Which was the bug?
You can check it by running clang-format-X on security/landlock/fs.c [1] and you'll get different results for this hunk (only):
