Interesting, this looks like a bug in these LTP tests.

Hi Li,

Yes this is on purpose.  The handled_access_fs minimal size check should
never change for backward compatibility reason.  User space built with
old headers must still work with new kernels.  This is tested with the
"inconsistent_attr" test in tools/testing/selftests/landlock/base_test.c
