Hi,

"PID=4111222333\0"

I count 15 bytes instead of 13?

It seems you always send PID attribute, even if it's nonsense (I guess
zero). Should sending nonsense be avoided?

Passing PID by number is racy, but I suppose it has two rationales:
- there is no way to pass a pidfd?
- it's safe enough because the kernel avoids aggressive PID re-use?

Maybe this would be good to note in the commit message to justify the
design.

What about pid namespaces, are they handled by pid_vnr() auto-magically
somehow? Does it mean that the daemon handling these events *must not*
be running under a (non-root?) pid namespace to work at all?

E.g. if you have a container that is given a dedicated GPU device, I
guess it might be reasonable to want to run the daemon inside that
container as well. I have no idea how pid namespaces work, but I recall
hearing they are a thing.

Since flags are UAPI, they should be documented somewhere in UAPI docs.

Shouldn't this whole event be documented somewhere in UAPI docs to say
what it means and what attributes it may have and what they mean?


Thanks,
