Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] proc: improve root readdir latency with many threads

Hi all,

Here's v2 of the /proc readdir optimization patches. See v1 for the full
introductary cover letter.

The refactoring in v2 adds a bit more to the idr code, but it remains
trivial with respect to eventual xarray (tag -> mark) conversion. On
that topic, I'm still looking for some feedback in the v1 thread [1] on
the prospective approach...

v2:
- Clean up idr helpers to be more generic.
- Use ->idr_base properly.
- Lift tgid iteration helper into pid.c to abstract tag logic from
  users.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20220614180949.102914-1-bfoster@redhat.com/

Brian Foster (4):
  radix-tree: propagate all tags in idr tree
  idr: support optional id tagging
  pid: tag pids associated with group leader tasks
  procfs: use efficient tgid pid search on root readdir
