But. if the group leader M exits then M->files == NULL. And in this case
task_seq_get_next() will need to "inspect" all the sub-threads even if they all
have the same ->files pointer.

That is correct. I do not have practical experience on how much
possibility this scenario may happen. I assume it should be very low.

Yes. I just tried to explain why the ->files check looks confusing to me.
Nevermind.

Could you review 6/6 as well?

I think we can wait patch 6/6 after
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230824143142.GA31222@xxxxxxxxxx/
is merged.


Should I fold 1-5 into a single patch? I tried to document every change
and simplify the review, but I do not want to blow the git history.

Currently, because patch 6, the whole patch set cannot be tested by
bpf CI since it has a build failure:
https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/pull/5580
I suggest you get patch 1-5 and resubmit with tag like
"bpf-next v2"
[Patch bpf-next v2 x/5] ...
so CI can build with different architectures and compilers to
ensure everything builds and runs fine.
