[PATCH v5 5/7] proc: instantiate only pids that we can ptrace on 'limit_pids=1' mount option

[Alexey Gladkov]

From: Djalal Harouni <tixxdz@gmail.com>

If "limit_pids=1" mount option is set then do not instantiate pids that
we can not ptrace. "limit_pids=1" means that procfs should only contain
pids that the caller can ptrace.

Where can I find documentation on these mount options (pidonly, limit_pids)?

Thanks.

Where did that "cond_resched()" come from? That doesn't seem to make a lot
of sense.

This call came along with has_pid_permissions from proc_pid_readdir [1]. It
seems to me that proc_pid_readdir and proc_pid_lookup should act in a
similar way in this case.

The documentation is not ready yet. It will be added in the next version
of the patchset.
