[PATCH bpf-next v8 02/11] fs,security: Add a new file access type: MAY_CHROOT

From: MickaÃl SalaÃn
Date: Mon Feb 26 2018 - 19:45:29 EST


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.
