IRC: #glibc on OFTC.
Review new patches and restart review at the top.
* State NEW delegate NOBODY 447 patches.
* Carlos's SLI at 167.6 days average patch age in queue and 76285 accumulated patch days.
* Discussed the case of pidfd usage and the races that it closes.
* fweimer: A library can use the non-pidfd versions of these functions.
* Unexpected pids should not be created for the wait functions.
* pidfd_spawn is more conservative and easier to support than clone3.
* May we delay the addition of fork_np?
* Given the current model of fork_np we are concerned that this API will need to use completely new APIs to follow on with the kernel clone3 extensions.
* The community upstream has been asking for clone3-like interface to use cgroups v2. If they can use the spawn-like interface then we delay and continue to review the design of fork_np or a variant of the clone3 interfac.e
* Starting at 74376
