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