[LTP] [PATCH v1 1/1] ioctl_pidfd06: expect EREMOTE for PIDFD_GET_INFO across pidns

[Jan Polensky <japo@linux.ibm.com>]

Kernel changed PIDFD_GET_INFO semantics when the pidfd refers to a task
that has no PID in the caller's current pid namespace: return -EREMOTE
instead of -ESRCH, allowing userspace to distinguish “different pidns”
from “process exited”.

Update ioctl_pidfd06 to expect EREMOTE in that case.
