it seems that initialization is unneeded, but this is cosmetic.
I see no technical problems, feel free to add my reviewed-by.
But let me ask a couple of questions...
Why O_CLOEXEC? I am just curious, I do not really care.
Should we allow CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_PIDFD ?
Are you sure we will never need to extend this interface? If not, then perhaps
it
make sense to add something like
if (CLONE_PIDFD) {
unsigned long not_used_yet;
if (get_user(not_used_yet, parent_tidptr) ||
not_used_yet != 0)
return -EINVAL;
}
this way we can easily add more arguments in future or even turn CLONE_PIDFD
into
CLONE_MORE_ARGS_IN_PARENT_TIDPTR.
Not that I think this is really good idea, sys_clone2() makes more sense, but
still.
