Subject: Re: [PATCH] pid: allow pidfds for reaped tasks

As I said, I am not sure I understand the problem. And I know nothing
about net/ but...

after the quick grep it seems that SO_PEERPIDFD can simply use
__pidfd_prepare() ? We know that sk->sk_peer_pid was initialized with
task_tgid(current) and thus we know it is (was) a valid TGID pid.

The same is probably true for scm->pid and scm_pidfd_recv()...

But again, I am not familiar with this code, I can be wrong.

Oleg.
