[PATCH bpf-next v9 01/10] fs,security: Add a new file access type: MAY_CHROOT

From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@digikod.net>
Date: 2019-06-25 22:03:31
Also in: linux-api, linux-fsdevel, linux-security-module, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

For compatibility reason, MAY_CHROOT is always set with MAY_CHDIR.
However, this new flag enable to differentiate a chdir form a chroot.

This is needed for the Landlock LSM to be able to evaluate a new root
directory.
