15 * What is struct pid?
16 *
17 * A struct pid is the kernel's internal notion of a process identifier.
18 * It refers to individual tasks, process groups, and sessions. While
19 * there are processes attached to it the struct pid lives in a hash
20 * table, so it and then the processes that it refers to can be found
21 * quickly from the numeric pid value. The attached processes may be
22 * quickly accessed by following pointers from struct pid.
23 *
24 * Storing pid_t values in the kernel and refering to them later has a
25 * problem. The process originally with that pid may have exited and the
26 * pid allocator wrapped, and another process could have come along
27 * and been assigned that pid.
28 *
29 * Referring to user space processes by holding a reference to struct
30 * task_struct has a problem. When the user space process exits
31 * the now useless task_struct is still kept. A task_struct plus a
32 * stack consumes around 10K of low kernel memory. More precisely
33 * this is THREAD_SIZE + sizeof(struct task_struct). By comparison
34 * a struct pid is about 64 bytes.
35 *
36 * Holding a reference to struct pid solves both of these problems.
37 * It is small so holding a reference does not consume a lot of
Sukadev Bhattiprolu84d73782006-12-08 02:38:01 -080038 * resources, and since a new struct pid is allocated when the numeric pid
39 * value is reused (when pids wrap around) we don't mistakenly refer to new
40 * processes.
