On 64-bit platforms, userspace can read the pidfd's inode in order to
get a never-repeated PID identifier. On 32-bit platforms this identifier
is not exposed, as inodes are limited to 32 bits. Instead expose the
identifier via export_fh, which makes it available to userspace via
name_to_handle_at

In addition we implement fh_to_dentry, which allows userspace to
recover a pidfd from a PID file handle.

We stash the process' PID in the root pid namespace inside the handle,
and use that to recover the pid (validating that pid->ino matches the
value in the handle, i.e. that the pid has not been reused).

We use the root namespace in order to ensure that file handles can be
moved across namespaces; however, we validate that the PID exists in
the current namespace before returning the inode.

"In addition" is a good indication that a separate patch was a good idea..

This patch has changed enough that you should not have kept my RVB.

BTW, please refrain from using the same subject for the cover letter and
a single patch. They are not the same thing, so if they get the same
name, one of them has an inaccurate description.

How come no need to put_pid() in case of error?

This change is not explained.
Why is it here?

This one confused me at first too, but path_from_stashed frees it (via
stashed_ops.put_data) on error. You can see the same pattern in
pidfs_alloc_file.

(It already needs to know how to free it for the case where a stashed
dentry already exists)

open_by_handle_at eventually passes through the may_open permission check.
The existing permissions only permits root to open them (since the owning
uid & gid is 0). So, it was necessary to widen them to align with how
pidfd_open works.

If I stick with this approach (see [1]) I'll ensure to document this change
better in the commit message.

I think you need at least something like the following completely
untested draft on top:

- the pidfs_finish_open_by_handle_at() is somewhat of a clutch to handle
  thread vs thread-group pidfds but it works.

- In contrast to pidfd_open() that uses dentry_open() to create a pidfd
  open_by_handle_at() uses file_open_root(). That's overall fine but
  makes pidfds subject to security hooks which they aren't via
  pidfd_open(). It also necessitats pidfs_finish_open_by_handle_at().
  There's probably other solutions I'm not currently seeing.

- The exportfs_decode_fh_raw() call that's used to decode the pidfd is
  passed vfs_dentry_acceptable() as acceptability callback. For pidfds
  we don't need any of that functionality and we don't need any of the
  disconnected dentry handling logic. So the easiest way to fix that is
  to rely on EXPORT_OP_UNRESTRICTED_OPEN to skip everything. That in
  turns means the only acceptability we have is the nop->fh_to_dentry()
  callback for pidfs.

- This all really needs rigorous selftests before we can even think of
  merging any of this.

Anway, here's the _completely untested, quickly drafted_ diff on top:

These two concerns combined with the special flag make me wonder if pidfs
is so much of a special snowflake we should just special case it up front
and skip all of the shared handle decode logic?

With the current logic we go exportfs_decode_fh_raw(...) ->
find_acceptable_alias(result) -> vfs_dentry_acceptable(context, result).


vfs_dentry_acceptable immediately returns 1 if ctx->flags is 0, which will
always be the case if EXPORT_OP_UNRESTRICTED_OPEN was set, so we immediately
fall back out of the call tree and return result.

So I'm not 100% sure we actually need this special case but I'm not opposed.

Care to try a patch and see what it looks like?

Oh right, I completely forgot that find_acceptable_alias() is a no-op
for pidfs.
