Hello,

The main problem with this linter is the fact that is not a go module by itself. For me, it's not a good idea to link the dependencies of gvisor with golangci-lint.

As prerequisite, do you mean that, gvisor has to make the checklock code as external repository?

After a quick review of the linter (I haven't tested the linter itself yet), what I can say is that the prerequisite for this linter is to be a module. There is a different way to do this: add a go.mod to the folder or externalize the code to a repo.
