commit 091ee63e36e8289f9067f659a48d497911e49d6f upstream.
Pidfs supports extensible and non-extensible ioctls. The extensible ioctls need to check for the ioctl number itself not just the ioctl command otherwise both backward- and forward compatibility are broken.
The pidfs ioctl handler also needs to look at the type of the ioctl command to guard against cases where "[...] a daemon receives some random file descriptor from a (potentially less privileged) client and expects the FD to be of some specific type, it might call ioctl() on this FD with some type-specific command and expect the call to fail if the FD is of the wrong type; but due to the missing type check, the kernel instead performs some action that userspace didn't expect." (cf. [1]]
