From 135b8b37bd91cc82f83e98fca109b80375f5317e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kenny Yu Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2016 14:04:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: Add pids controller event when fork fails because of pid limit This patch adds more visibility into the pids controller when the controller rejects a fork request. Whenever fork fails because the limit on the number of pids in the cgroup is reached, the controller will log this and also notify the newly added cgroups events file. The `max` key in the events file represents the number of times fork failed because of the pids controller. This change also logs only the first time the `max` event counter is incremented. This is to provide a hint to the user to understand why fork failed, as users are not yet used to seeing fork failures because of the pids controller.
