OK, I won't argue, but ....
you may or may not get notified via poll when a kthread exits.
Why? the exiting kthread should not differ in this respect?
Why do you want to allow it?
Again, I didn't try to "nack" your patch. Just tried to understand your motivation.
And "may not get notified" above doesn't look right to me...
/proc/$pid/status has a "Kthread" field...
Going forward, I don't want to force people to parse basic stuff out of procfs. Ideally, they'll be able to mostly rely on pidfd operations only.
Agreed.
