[PATCH 0/5] Add pidfd support to the fanotify API

From: Matthew Bobrowski <repnop@google.com>
Date: 2021-05-20 02:09:59
Also in: linux-fsdevel

Hey Jan/Amir/Christian,

This is the updated patch series for adding pidfd support to the
fanotify API. It incorporates all the suggestions that had come out of
the initial RFC patch series [0].

The main difference with this patch series is that FAN_REPORT_PIDFD
results in an additional info record object supplied alongside the
generic event metadata object instead of overloading metadata->pid. If
any of the fid flavoured init flags are specified, then the pidfd info
record object will follow any fid info record objects.

Matthew Bobrowski (5):
  kernel/pid.c: remove static qualifier from pidfd_create()
  kernel/pid.c: implement checks on parameters passed to pidfd_create()
  fanotify_user.c: minor cosmetic adjustments to fid labels
  fanotify/fanotify_user.c: introduce a generic info record copying
    function
  fanotify: Add pidfd info record support to the fanotify API
