linux pidmap_init

本内容只是为了方便自己记录问题，内容比较简单，如果要追述根源，可以参照这位大神的文章：点击打开链接

 

1. 内核启动报文

 

pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301

 

 

可以看到进程编号最大个数为32768，最小为301，曾经测试过进程创建、再释放循环操作，的确是到达32768后又重新开始计算。
 

2. pidmap_init()

路径：\linux-3.10.x\kernel\pid.c

 

void __init pidmap_init(void)
{
	/* Veryify no one has done anything silly */
	BUILD_BUG_ON(PID_MAX_LIMIT >= PIDNS_HASH_ADDING);

	/* bump default and minimum pid_max based on number of cpus */
	pid_max = min(pid_max_max, max_t(int, pid_max,
				PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT * num_possible_cpus()));
	pid_max_min = max_t(int, pid_max_min,
				PIDS_PER_CPU_MIN * num_possible_cpus());
	pr_info("pid_max: default: %u minimum: %u\n", pid_max, pid_max_min);

	init_pid_ns.pidmap[0].page = kzalloc(PAGE_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL);
	/* Reserve PID 0. We never call free_pidmap(0) */
	set_bit(0, init_pid_ns.pidmap[0].page);
	atomic_dec(&init_pid_ns.pidmap[0].nr_free);
	init_pid_ns.nr_hashed = PIDNS_HASH_ADDING;

	init_pid_ns.pid_cachep = KMEM_CACHE(pid,
			SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN | SLAB_PANIC);
