Merge patch series "net: support thread-specific pidfds for send and connect"
Andrew Halaney <andrew@amutable.com> says: SO_PASSPIDFD/SCM_PIDFD and SO_PEERPIDFD allow to retrieve a pidfd for the thread-group leader. The coredump server using the coredump socket cannot get a handle on the task that took the signal and is writing the coredump easily. Workloads interested in per-thread authentification have similar problems. Add SO_PASSPIDFD_THREAD/SCM_PIDFD_THREAD and SO_PEERPIDFD_THREAD. We record the sending and the connecting thread in addition to the thread-group leader. SO_PASSPIDFD_THREAD functions like SO_PASSPIDFD but instead of an SCM_PIDFD message for the thread-group leader, SCM_PIDFD_THREAD sends a pidfd for the specific thread. SO_PASSPIDFD / SO_PASSPIDFD_THREAD are independent, allowing callers to get both styles of pidfd back in their cmsg. SO_PEERPIDFD_THREAD allows to retrieve a pidfd for the specific thread that called connect(), listen(), or socketpair(). pidfs_coredump() now also stamps the dumping thread's struct pid so a pidfd for that thread reports the coredump like the pidfd of the thread-group leader does. * patches from https://patch.msgid.link/20261005-work-unix-passpidfd-v4-0-350183b6e02a@amutable.com: selftests/coredump: check the dumping thread's pidfd pidfs: record the coredump on the dumping thread's pid too selftests/net: SO_PEERPIDFD_THREAD net: add SO_PEERPIDFD_THREAD to get a thread-specific pidfd af_unix: record the pid of the connecting thread net: turn sk_peer_pid into an array indexed by pid type selftests/net: SO_PASSPIDFD_THREAD net: add SO_PASSPIDFD_THREAD to get a thread-specific SCM_PIDFD af_unix: record the pid of the sending thread pid: add helpers to operate on a struct pid array Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20261005-work-unix-passpidfd-v4-0-350183b6e02a@amutable.com Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner (Amutable) <brauner@kernel.org>
