Subject: [PATCH 07/10] net: add SO_PEERPIDFD_THREAD to get a thread-specific pidfd
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 13:21:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831-work-unix-passpidfd-v1-7-70cbfda0c7ba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831-work-unix-passpidfd-v1-0-70cbfda0c7ba@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.
