Since __scm_detach_fds() becomes something that is available outside of net/* should we provide a static inline wrapper under a different name? The "socket-level control message" prefix seems a bit odd in pidfd_getfd() and - once we make use of it there - seccomp. I'd suggest we do: static inline int fd_install_received(struct file *file, unsigned int flags) { return __scm_install_fd(file, NULL, flags); } which can be called in pidfd_getfd() and once we have other callers that want the additional put_user() (e.g. seccomp_ in there we simply add: static inline fd_install_user(struct file *file, unsigned int flags, int __user *ufd) { return __scm_install_fd(file, ufd, flags); } and seems the wrappers both could happily live in the fs part of the world?
