Pull pidfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains work to make it possible to derive namespace file descriptors from pidfd file descriptors. Right now it is already possible to use a pidfd with setns() to atomically change multiple namespaces at the same time. In other words, it is possible to switch to the namespace context of a process using a pidfd. There is no need to first open namespace file descriptors via procfs. The work included here is an extension of these abilities by allowing to open namespace file descriptors using a pidfd. This means it is now possible to interact with namespaces without ever touching procfs. To this end a new set of ioctls() on pidfds is introduced covering all supported namespace types" * tag 'vfs-6.11.pidfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: pidfs: allow retrieval of namespace file descriptors nsfs: add open_namespace() nsproxy: add helper to go from arbitrary namespace to ns_common nsproxy: add a cleanup helper for nsproxy file: add take_fd() cleanup helper
