Yeah, makes sense to me. Note that if you send the pidfd to a sibling pid namespace NSpid won't show you anything useful. But that's what I'd expect security wise. You should only be able to snoop on descendant pid namespaces.
Please add a test for this to verify that this all works correctly and then resend. The tests live in tools/testing/selftests/pidfd/ and should already have most of the infrastructure there. The fdinfo parsing code should be in samples/pidfd/ which
For the patch itself:

You can resend with my Reviewed-by retained if you don't change anything. Before I see tests I'll hold off on merging this. ;)
Thanks! Christian
