+ * pidfd_open() - Open new pid file descriptor.
+ *
+ * @pid:   pid for which to retrieve a pidfd
+ * @flags: flags to pass
+ *
+ * This creates a new pid file descriptor with the O_CLOEXEC flag set for
+ * the process identified by @pid. Currently, the process identified by
+ * @pid must be a thread-group leader. This restriction currently exists
+ * for all aspects of pidfds including pidfd creation (CLONE_PIDFD cannot
+ * be used with CLONE_THREAD) and pidfd polling (only supports thread group
+ * leaders).
+ *
Would it be possible to create file descriptor with "restricted"
operation ?

- O_RDONLY: waiting for process completion allowed (for example)
- O_WRONLY: sending process signal allowed

For example, a process could send over a Unix socket a process a pidfd,
allowing this to only wait for completion, but not sending signal ?

I see the permission check is not done in pidfd_open(), so what prevent
a user from sending a signal to another user owned process ?

If it's in pidfd_send_signal(), then, passing the socket through
SCM_RIGHT won't be useful if the target process is not owned by the
same user, or root.
+ * Return: On success, a cloexec pidfd is returned.
