It was an unsophisticated time and no one was worried about functions full of FIXMES in a stable kernel. As time passed the function became sacred and was enshrined in the shrine of how things have always been. The fixes came in but only to keep the function working no one really remembering or documenting why we did things that way. The intent and the functionality make a lot of sense. Don't let /proc be an access point for files a process can see no other way. The implementation however is completely wrong. We are currently checking the root directories of the two processes, we are not checking the actual file descriptors themselves. We are strangely checking with a permission method instead of just when we use the data. This patch fixes the logic to actually check the file descriptors and make a note that implementing a permission method for this part of /proc almost certainly indicates a bug in the reasoning.
