   1 /*
   2  * Process number limiting controller for cgroups.
   3  *
   4  * Used to allow a cgroup hierarchy to stop any new processes from fork()ing
   5  * after a certain limit is reached.
   6  *
   7  * Since it is trivial to hit the task limit without hitting any kmemcg limits
   8  * in place, PIDs are a fundamental resource. As such, PID exhaustion must be
   9  * preventable in the scope of a cgroup hierarchy by allowing resource limiting
  10  * of the number of tasks in a cgroup.
  11  *
  12  * In order to use the `pids` controller, set the maximum number of tasks in
  13  * pids.max (this is not available in the root cgroup for obvious reasons). The
  14  * number of processes currently in the cgroup is given by pids.current.
  15  * Organisational operations are not blocked by cgroup policies, so it is
  16  * possible to have pids.current > pids.max. However, it is not possible to
  17  * violate a cgroup policy through fork(). fork() will return -EAGAIN if forking
  18  * would cause a cgroup policy to be violated.
  19  *
  20  * To set a cgroup to have no limit, set pids.max to "max". This is the default
  21  * for all new cgroups (N.B. that PID limits are hierarchical, so the most
  22  * stringent limit in the hierarchy is followed).
  23  *
  24  * pids.current tracks all child cgroup hierarchies, so parent/pids.current is
  25  * a superset of parent/child/pids.current.
