Landlock's IOCTL support needs to partially replicate the list of IOCTLs from do_vfs_ioctl(). The list of commands implemented in do_vfs_ioctl() should be kept in sync with Landlock's IOCTL policies.

I'm sure there are probably a few old comments referring to SELinux, but those are bugs as far as I'm concerned (if anyone spots one, please let me know or send me a patch!). How about the following? "The LSM list should also be notified of any command additions or"The LSM mailing list..."
