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. */ /* * struct upid is used to get the id of the struct pid, as it is * seen in particular namespace.
