This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled kernel/pid.c: implement additional checks upon pidfd_create() parameters to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kernel-pid.c-implement-additional-checks-upon-pidfd_.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 42d0d77b31a67f091dccc2c6a198577e3816816d Author: Matthew Bobrowski <repnop@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Aug 8 15:25:05 2021 +1000 kernel/pid.c: implement additional checks upon pidfd_create() parameters [ Upstream commit 490b9ba881e2c6337bb09b68010803ae98e59f4a ] By adding the pidfd_create() declaration to linux/pid.h, we effectively expose this function to the rest of the kernel. In order to avoid any unintended behavior, or set false expectations upon this function, ensure that constraints are forced upon each of the passed parameters. This includes the checking of whether the passed struct pid is a thread-group leader as pidfd creation is currently limited to such pid types.
