Subject: [PATCH v2 07/10] net: add SO_PEERPIDFD_THREAD to get a thread-specific pidfd
Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2026 12:43:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909-work-unix-passpidfd-v2-7-7bd342abb2d1@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909-work-unix-passpidfd-v2-0-7bd342abb2d1@kernel.org>

SO_PEERPIDFD hands out a pidfd for the thread-group that called
connect() or socketpair(). Enable workloads such as the coredump server
or a broker to get a pidfd of the specific thread that connected to the
socket.
