Certainly, it appears that we were addressing the same matter but
approaching it from different perspectives or discussions.
And we hastened to submit our RFCs before the Thanksgiving break. :-)

The patch I sent originated from the thread, and the subsequent
discussion commenced with the 'pidfd_set_mempolicy' RFC, possibly
influenced by the 'process_madvise.'
Specifically, the concept of a 'process_mbind()' syscall was suggested
by Frank van der Linden (Google):

I would appreciate it if others could kindly evaluate what appears to
be the suitable course of action moving forward.

Thank you!
