5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Matthew Bobrowski <repnop@xxxxxxxxxx> [ 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.
