Subject: [PATCH 0/3] pidfd: add pidfd_prepare()
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2023 20:22:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230327-pidfd-file-api-v1-0-5c0e9a3158e4@kernel.org> (raw)

This adds the pidfd_prepare() helper which allows the caller to reserve
a pidfd number and allocates a new pidfd file that stashes the provided
struct pid.

This will allow us to remove places that either open code this
functionality e.g., during copy_process() or that currently call
pidfd_create() but then have to call close_fd() because there are still
failure points after pidfd_create() has been called.

Other functionality wants to make use of pidfd's as well and they need a
pidfd_prepare() internal api as well.

I've tested the fanotify and fork changes via LTP which provides
coverage for all the affected codepaths.
