Subject: Re: [PATCH RESEND v11 7/8] proc: use human-readable values for hidepid

So I relooked at the code. And I think I was misreading things.
However I think it is a legitimate concern.
Can you please mention in your description of this change that
switching from fsparam_u32 to fs_param_string is safe even when
using the new mount api because fsparam_u32 and fs_param_string
both are sent from userspace with "fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, ...)".
Or words to that effect. Ideally you will even manually test that case
to confirm.
Thank you,
Eric
