Subject: [PATCH] fdinfo: Add fops flag to allow CAP_PERFMON to see fdinfo
Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 15:14:29 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504191429.1770840-1-David.Francis@amd.com> (raw)

We want some GPU information to be publicly available to all
processes for basic system-wide profiling (think GPU versions
of top).

This information is available in fdinfo and not easily exposed
by other interfaces.

Allow processes with CAP_PERFMON capability to
- read /proc/<pid>/fd
- follow symlinks in /proc/<pid>/fd, but only if that file has
new file operations flag FOP_PERFMON_FDINFO
- read /proc/<pid>/fdinfo
- read /proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd>, but only if that file has
FOP_PERFMON_FDINFO
