3  * Process number limiting controller for cgroups.
4  *
5  * Used to allow a cgroup hierarchy to stop any new processes from fork()ing
6  * after a certain limit is reached.
7  *
8  * Since it is trivial to hit the task limit without hitting any kmemcg limits
9  * in place, PIDs are a fundamental resource. As such, PID exhaustion must be
10  * preventable in the scope of a cgroup hierarchy by allowing resource limiting
11  * of the number of tasks in a cgroup.
12  *
13  * In order to use the `pids` controller, set the maximum number of tasks in
14  * pids.max (this is not available in the root cgroup for obvious reasons). The
15  * number of processes currently in the cgroup is given by pids.current.
16  * Organisational operations are not blocked by cgroup policies, so it is
17  * possible to have pids.current > pids.max. However, it is not possible to
18  * violate a cgroup policy through fork(). fork() will return -EAGAIN if forking
19  * would cause a cgroup policy to be violated.
20  *
21  * To set a cgroup to have no limit, set pids.max to "max". This is the default
22  * for all new cgroups (N.B. that PID limits are hierarchical, so the most
23  * stringent limit in the hierarchy is followed).
24  *
25  * pids.current tracks all child cgroup hierarchies, so parent/pids.current is
26  * a superset of parent/child/pids.current.
