All other files in /proc/$PID/ use proc_setattr(). Not using it allows the usage of chmod() on /proc/$PID/net, even on other processes owned by the same user. The same would probably also be true for other attributes to be changed. As this technically represents an ABI change it is not marked for stable so any unlikely regressions are caught during a full release cycle.

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 Restructured Text 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.
