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.

Suggestion:
"with the Landlock IOCTL security policy defined in security/landlock/fs.c"
We really shouldn't have any comments or code outside of the security/
directory that reference a specific LSM implementation.  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..."
 ;)
quoted
changes as specific LSMs may be affected."
Looks good.
