Pidfs supports extensible and non-extensible ioctls. The extensible ioctls need to check for the ioctl number itself not just the ioctl command otherwise both backward- and forward compatibility are broken. The pidfs ioctl handler also needs to look at the type of the ioctl command to guard against cases where "[...] a daemon receives some random file descriptor from a (potentially less privileged) client and expects the FD to be of some specific type, it might call ioctl() on this FD with some type-specific command and expect the call to fail if the FD is of the wrong type; but due to the missing type check, the kernel instead performs some action that userspace didn't expect."

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
