landlock: Document fallocate(2) as another truncation corner case

2026-04-07T16:51:11+00:00

Reinforce the already stated policy that LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE should always go hand in hand with LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_WRITE_FILE, as their meanings and enforcement overlap in counterintuitive ways. On many common file systems, fallocate(2) offers a way to shorten files as long as the file is opened for writing, side-stepping the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE right.

landlock: Document FS access right for pathname UNIX sockets

Add LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX to the example code, and explain it in the section about previous limitations. The bulk of the interesting flag documentation lives in the kernel header and is included in the Sphinx rendering.

landlock: Expand restrict flags example for ABI version 8

2026-03-24T19:55:55+00:00

Add LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC to the backwards compatibility example for restrict flags. This introduces completeness, similar to that of the ruleset attributes example. However, as the new example can impact enforcement in certain cases, an appropriate warning is also included. Additionally, I modified the two comments of the example to make them more consistent with the ruleset attributes example's.

media: uapi: Clarify MBUS color component order for serial buses

2026-03-24T10:58:02+00:00

The subdev format documentation has a subsection describing how to use the media bus pixel codes for serial buses. While it describes the sampling part well, it doesn't really describe the current convention used for the components order. Let's improve that.
