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