(I'm sorry, I didn't follow all the version discussions closely.)
I think the permissions are a non-issue when unprivileged BPF is
disabled. If it's allowed, I think it'd be better solved generally
within the BPF iterator framework. (Maybe it's already present, I didn't
check.)

FDs can be passed too (parent-child trivially, others via SCM_RIGHTS
message).

I'd say cgroup path wins both in meaning and user friendliness.
(Or maybe you meant different class of users.)

I accept cgroup ids are an establish{ing,ed} way to refer to cgroups
from userspace. Hence my fixups for the BPF cgroup iter (another thread)
for better namespacing consisntency.
Thanks,
