Re: [PATCH 28/32] nsfs: support exhaustive file handles

Pidfd file handles are exhaustive meaning they don't require a handle on
another pidfd to pass to open_by_handle_at() so it can derive the
filesystem to decode in. Instead it can be derived from the file
handle itself. The same is possible for namespace file handles.
