Re: [PATCH 2/4][PoC][RFC] Add rlimit-events framework

Meta-comments on the code, I'm not commenting on the content, just
normal code review things that I always see in kernel code...

I have to ask, do you really mean "any later version" for this, and the
other new files you created?

And, it is nice to use SPDX for new files to identify their license.
It's not that prevelant, but is getting there...

No tabs?

GPLv2+ in a user api header file?  You are really brave :)

For structures that cross the user/kernel boundry, you have to use the
correct variable types.  And that is never "unit32_t" and such, use
"__u32" and the other "__" types.

And are you _sure_ that pid_t is able to be exported to userspace
correctly?

__u64

__u32

And so on for all others.

You don't seem to describe an ioctl here in the "normal" method, but
only use vague numbers up above, that's odd, why?

Mix of tab and spaces :(
