Description: PIDs controller

More info: Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening. It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller, since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to attach to a cgroup.
