Hi Jan,

> 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).

LGTM, thanks!
