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.
