/*
 * Process number limiting controller for cgroups.
 *
 * Used to allow a cgroup hierarchy to stop any new processes from fork()ing
 * after a certain limit is reached.
 *
 * Since it is trivial to hit the task limit without hitting any kmemcg limits
 * in place, PIDs are a fundamental resource. As such, PID exhaustion must be
 * preventable in the scope of a cgroup hierarchy by allowing resource limiting
 * of the number of tasks in a cgroup.
 *
 * In order to use the `pids` controller, set the maximum number of tasks in
 * pids.max (this is not available in the root cgroup for obvious reasons). The
 * number of processes currently in the cgroup is given by pids.current.
 * Organisational operations are not blocked by cgroup policies, so it is
 * possible to have pids.current > pids.max. However, it is not possible to
 * violate a cgroup policy through fork(). fork() will return -EAGAIN if forking
 * would cause a cgroup policy to be violated.
 *
 * To set a cgroup to have no limit, set pids.max to "max". This is the default
 * for all new cgroups (N.B. that PID limits are hierarchical, so the most
 * stringent limit in the hierarchy is followed).
 *
 * pids.current tracks all child cgroup hierarchies, so parent/pids.current is
 * a superset of parent/child/pids.current.
