use PIDFD_GET_INFO ioctl when available #150412

the8472 · 2025-12-26T23:29:02Z

This way using pidfd_spawnp won't have to rely on procfs, avoiding an unpleasant edge-case where the child is spawned but we can't get the pid. And pidfd.{try_}wait will be able to return the exit status even after a process has been reaped. At least on newer kernels.

Tracking issue: #82971

Two small suggestions but LGTM.

Cc @cuviper if you'd like to take a second look, since I assume you're more up on the latest pidfd developments than I am.
