Not entirely sure why I've been added to the cc; this doesn't seem
like it's even remotely within my realm of expertise.

Using 'extern' for function declarations is deprecated. More
importantly, you have two arguments of the same type, and how do I know
which one is which if you don't name them?

Does kernel-doc really parse this correctly? Normal style would be:
/**
* is_dumpability_changed - Will changing creds affect dumpability?
* @old: The old credentials.
* @new: The new credentials.
*
* If the @new credentials have no elevated privileges compared to the
* @old credentials, the task may remain dumpable. Otherwise we have
* to mark the task as undumpable to avoid information leaks from higher
* to lower privilege domains.
*
* Return: True if the task will become undumpable.

Do you really want this to be interruptible by a timer signal or a
window resize event?
