Hi, This series adds landlock support for scoping POSIX message queuesi [1]. Landlock already supports scoped IPC restrictions for signals and abstract UNIX sockets. These restrictions make it possible to prevent a sandboxed task from interacting with IPC objects outside of its Landlock domain, while still allowing communication within the same domain or with nested domains. This series extends the same model to POSIX message queues with a new LANDLOCK_SCOPE_POSIX_MSG_QUEUE scope. When this scope is enforced, a task can only open POSIX message queues that were created by a task in the same landlock domain or in a nested domain. The implementation tags mqueuefs inodes at creation time with the creator's landlock domain. This domain is kept alive for the lifetime of the inode and is checked when the queue is opened. The series also exposes the mqueuefs magic number through the shared UAPI magic header, bumps the Landlock ABI, updates documentation, adds sandboxer support, and adds selftests. The new behavior is: - a task restricted with LANDLOCK_SCOPE_POSIX_MSG_QUEUE cannot open a queue created outside of its Landlock scope; - a task can still open a queue created within its own Landlock domain; - queues created outside of any Landlock domain are treated as outside the scope for a scoped opener.
