[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/1] [STAGING] ioctl_pidfd06: accept EREMOTE/ESRCH for PIDFD_GET_INFO across pidns

Jan Polensky japo@linux.ibm.com
Thu Feb 19 17:30:30 CET 2026


PIDFD_GET_INFO semantics changed for pidfds referring to tasks without a PID
in the caller's current pid namespace (commit ab89060fbc92e ("pidfs: return
-EREMOTE when PIDFD_GET_INFO is called on another ns")).

Accept both errnos to keep the test working on kernels with and without the
change (including backports).
