apparmor(7) reads:

       Profiles are applied to a process at exec(3) time (as seen through the
       execve(2) system call); an already running process cannot be confined.
       However, once a profile is loaded for a program, that program will be
       confined on the next exec(3).

The way I understand it, this implies that a modified+reloaded profile
will only be applied to the confined program next time it is executed.

Cheers,
