Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/2] Add kfunc for doing pid -> task lookup
Date:   Tue, 22 Nov 2022 08:52:58 -0600

A series of prior patches added support for storing struct task_struct *
objects as kptrs. This patch set proposes extending this with another
kfunc called bpf_task_from_pid() which performs a lookup of a task from
its pid, from the root pid namespace idr.

This allows BPF programs that don't have a kptr to a task, to instead
perform a lookup by pid. This will be useful for programs that are
tracking pids and want, e.g., to do a lookup to find task->comm.

David Vernet (2):
  bpf: Add bpf_task_from_pid() kfunc
  selftests/bpf: Add selftests for bpf_task_from_pid()
