It seems to me that it was a mistake marking this function as deprecated and scheduling it for removal, rather than resolutely removing it after the last caller's death. Anyway - better late, then never. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.

/*
|
|
* 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 (when pids wrap around) we don't mistakenly refer to new
|
|
* processes.
