Thanks for reproting this. I'm taking a look now!
Ok, this is a simple race in the selftests, that I overlooked and which is more likely to hit when there's a lot of processes running on the system. Basically the child process hasn't SIGSTOPed itself yet but the parent is already calling waitid() on a O_NONBLOCK pidfd. Since it doesn't find a WSTOPPED process it returns -EAGAIN correctly.
The fix for this is to move the line where we're removing the O_NONBLOCK property from the fd before the waitid() WSTOPPED call so we hang until the child becomes stopped.
So I believe the fix is:
I have tested this patch and the pidfd_wait test did not hang this time.
