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