It is already difficult for users to troubleshoot which of multiple pid
limits restricts their workload. The per-(hierarchical-)NS pid_max would
contribute to the confusion.
Also, the implementation copies the limit upon creation from
parent, this pattern showed cumbersome with some attributes in legacy
cgroup controllers -- it's subject to race condition between parent's
limit modification and children creation and once copied it must be
changed in the descendant.
Let's do what other places do (ucounts or cgroup limits) -- create new
pid namespaces without any limit at all. The global limit (actually any
ancestor's limit) is still effectively in place, we avoid the
set/unshare race and bumps of global (ancestral) limit have the desired
effect on pid namespace that do not care.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
