Subject: [PATCH 0/2] proc: proc_setattr for /proc/$PID/net

Hi, Thomas

Just applied your patchset on v6.4, and then:

  - revert the 1st patch: 'selftests/nolibc: drop test chmod_net' manually

  - do the 'run' test of nolibc on arm/vexpress-a9

The 'chmod_net' test of tools/testing/selftests/nolibc/nolibc-test.c
really failed as expected (and therefore, should be removed):

    11 chdir_root = 0                                                [OK]
    12 chdir_dot = 0                                                 [OK]
    13 chdir_blah = -1 ENOENT                                        [OK]
    14 chmod_net = -1 EPERM                                         [FAIL]
    15 chmod_self = -1 EPERM                                         [OK]
    16 chmod_tmpdir = 0                                              [OK]
    17 chown_self = -1 EPERM                                         [OK]

So, If this test result is enough for this patch, here is my:
