Applied-to:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux.git/log/?h=pidfd
on top of P_PIDFD changes (cf. [1]) with merge conflict resolved (cf. [2]).
(All changes on top of v5.3-rc1.)

Merged-into:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux.git/log/?h=for-next
and should show up in linux-next tomorrow.

Thanks!
Christian
