Do we need type == PIDTYPE_PID check? FF_SETOWN_TID must imply
PIDTYPE_PID, it is only used by f_setown_tid().

Hmm. Actually I am not sure we should change f_modown() at all. I was
going to suggest this as a subsequent cleanup, but now I am starting
to think it is better to do from the very beginning. Please see below.

Hmm, OK. so fcntl(F_SETOWN_TID, -666) <=> fcntl(F_SETOWN, +666).

Not that I disagree, but I think this should be discussed. Perhaps
F_SETOWN_TID can just reject who < 0.

I didn't think about this before... What should F_GETOWN_TID return
if we did F_GETOWN ? (and vice versa). f_getown_tid() returns < 0
if !task_only and ->piD != 0, this helps.

but the caller of F_GETOWN can't know what the returned value actually
means if F_GETOWN_TID was used.


Do we really need fown->task_only? Not only this enlarges fown_struct,
we have to modify f_modown() and f_setown().

Perhaps we can just add

#define F_PIDTYPE_THREAD PIDTYPE_MAX

into fcntl.c ? Then,

static int f_setown_xxx(struct file *filp, unsigned long arg, int force, bool group)
{
enum pid_type type;
struct pid *pid;
int who = arg;
int result;

type = PIDTYPE_PID;
if (!group)
type = F_PIDTYPE_THREAD
else if (who < 0) {
type = PIDTYPE_PGID;
who = -who;
}

rcu_read_lock();
pid = find_vpid(who);
result = __f_setown(filp, pid, type, force);
rcu_read_unlock();
return result;
}

int f_setown(struct file *filp, unsigned long arg, int force)
{
return f_setown_xxx(..., true);
}

Now we should also change send_sigio/send_sigurg, but this is trivial

type = fown->pid_type;
+ if (type == F_PIDTYPE_THREAD)
type = PIDTYPE_PID;

send_sigio_to_task() is trivial too.

What do you think? I agree, this is a bit hackish, but otoh this lessens
the changes outside of fcntl.h.

Oleg.
