18 * What is struct pid?
20 * A struct pid is the kernel's internal notion of a process identifier.
21 * It refers to individual tasks, process groups, and sessions. While
22 * there are processes attached to it the struct pid lives in a hash
23 * table, so it and then the processes that it refers to can be found
24 * quickly from the numeric pid value. The attached processes may be
25 * quickly accessed by following pointers from struct pid.
27 * Storing pid_t values in the kernel and referring to them later has a
28 * problem. The process originally with that pid may have exited and the
29 * pid allocator wrapped, and another process could have come along
30 * and been assigned that pid.
32 * Referring to user space processes by holding a reference to struct
33 * task_struct has a problem. When the user space process exits
34 * the now useless task_struct is still kept. A task_struct plus a
35 * stack consumes around 10K of low kernel memory. More precisely
36 * this is THREAD_SIZE + sizeof(struct task_struct). By comparison
37 * a struct pid is about 64 bytes.
39 * Holding a reference to struct pid solves both of these problems.
40 * It is small so holding a reference does not consume a lot of
41 * resources, and since a new struct pid is allocated when the numeric pid
42 * value is reused (when pids wrap around) we don't mistakenly refer to new
43 * processes.
48 * struct upid is used to get the id of the struct pid, as it is
49 * seen in particular namespace. Later the struct pid is found with
50 * find_pid_ns() using the int nr and struct pid_namespace *ns.
