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