Subject: [PATCH 01/10] pid: add helpers to operate on a struct pid array
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 13:21:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831-work-unix-passpidfd-v1-1-70cbfda0c7ba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831-work-unix-passpidfd-v1-0-70cbfda0c7ba@kernel.org>
We're about to extend af_unix sockets and coredump code with the ability
to hand out thread-specific pidfds. Add a few simple helpers that allow
to operate on multiple struct pids up to PIDTYPE_MAX with automatic
bounds checking.
