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