Subject: [PATCH v2 06/15] pidfs: allow to retrieve exit information
Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:41:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250304-work-pidfs-kill_on_last_close-v2-6-44fdacfaa7b7@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250304-work-pidfs-kill_on_last_close-v2-0-44fdacfaa7b7@kernel.org>
Some tools like systemd's jounral need to retrieve the exit and cgroup
information after a process has already been reaped. This can e.g.,
happen when retrieving a pidfd via SCM_PIDFD or SCM_PEERPIDFD.
