  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.
