"namespace" usually refers to the namespaces(7) man page.  What about
using the same vocabulary is in unix(7):
"for connecting to an abstract socket address."

For the next version, please list all changes since last version. With
this v5 I see some renaming, a new curr_ruleset field with optional
domain scopping, and code formatting.

Please take a look at the generated documentation and fix the build
warnings related to this patch: check-linux.sh doc (or make htmldocs)

What about this?
"Bitmask of scopes () restricting a Landlock domain from accessing
outside resources (e.g. IPCs)."

Shouldn't this be after the section title?

You can remove "access"

There are several spaces at the end of lines, they should be removed.

A flag is not set "in a Landlock domain" but for a ruleset.

Please remove unneeded spaces.

Restrict a sandboxed process from connecting to an abstract unix socket
created by a process outside the related Landlock domain (e.g. a parent
domain or a process which is not sandboxed).

This curr_ruleset pointer can become a dangling pointer and then lead to
a user after free bug because a domain (i.e. ruleset tie to a set of
processes) is free when no processes use it.

Instead, we could just use a bitmask (or a boolean for now) to identify
if the related layer scopes abstract unix sockets.  Because struct
landlock_hierarchy identifies only one layer of a domain, another and
simpler approach would be to only rely on the "client" and "server"
domains' layers.
