Merge tag 'kernel-6.14-rc1.pid' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull pid_max namespacing update from Christian Brauner:
"The pid_max sysctl is a global value. For a long time the default
value has been 65535 and during the pidfd dicussions Linus proposed to
bump pid_max by default. Based on this discussion systemd started
bumping pid_max to 2^22. So all new systems now run with a very high
pid_max limit with some distros having also backported that change.

The decision to bump pid_max is obviously correct. It just doesn't
make a lot of sense nowadays to enforce such a low pid number. There's
sufficient tooling to make selecting specific processes without typing
really large pid numbers available.

In any case, there are workloads that have expections about how large
pid numbers they accept. Either for historical reasons or
architectural reasons. One concreate example is the 32-bit version of
Android's bionic libc which requires pid numbers less than 65536.
There are workloads where it is run in a 32-bit container on a 64-bit
kernel. If the host has a pid_max value greater than 65535 the libc
will abort thread creation because of size assumptions of
pthread_mutex_t.

That's a fairly specific use-case however, in general specific
workloads that are moved into containers running on a host with a new
kernel and a new systemd can run into issues with large pid_max
values. Obviously making assumptions about the size of the allocated
pid is suboptimal but we have userspace that does it.

Of course, giving containers the ability to restrict the number of
processes in their respective pid namespace indepent of the global
limit through pid_max is something desirable in itself and comes in
handy in general.

Independent of motivating use-cases the existence of pid namespaces
makes this also a good semantical extension and there have been prior
proposals pushing in a similar direction. The trick here is to
minimize the risk of regressions which I think is doable. The fact
that pid namespaces are hierarchical will help us here.

What we mostly care about is that when the host sets a low pid_max
limit, say (crazy number) 100 that no descendant pid namespace can
allocate a higher pid number in its namespace. Since pid allocation is
hierarchial this can be ensured by checking each pid allocation
against the pid namespace's pid_max limit. This means if the
allocation in the descendant pid namespace succeeds, the ancestor pid
namespace can reject it. If the ancestor pid namespace has a higher
limit than the descendant pid namespace the descendant pid namespace
will reject the pid allocation. The ancestor pid namespace will
obviously not care about this.

All in all this means pid_max continues to enforce a system wide limit
on the number of processes but allows pid namespaces sufficient leeway
in handling workloads with assumptions about pid values and allows
containers to restrict the number of processes in a pid namespace
through the pid_max interface"
