19  * What is struct pid?
21  * A struct pid is the kernel's internal notion of a process identifier.
23  * there are processes attached to it the struct pid lives in a hash
25  * quickly from the numeric pid value.  The attached processes may be
26  * quickly accessed by following pointers from struct pid.
29  * problem.  The process originally with that pid may have exited and the
30  * pid allocator wrapped, and another process could have come along
31  * and been assigned that pid.
38  * a struct pid is about 64 bytes.
40  * Holding a reference to struct pid solves both of these problems.
