Currently when a process in a group forks and fails due to it's
parent's max restriction, all the cgroups from 'pids_forking' to root
will generate event notifications but only the cgroups from
'pids_over_limit' to root will increase the counter of PIDCG_MAX.
Consider this scenario: there are 4 groups A, B, C,and D, the
relationships are as follows, and user is watching on C.pids.events.
root->A->B->C->D
When a process in D forks and fails due to B.max restriction, the
user will get a spurious event notification because when he wakes up
and reads C.pids.events, he will find that the content has not changed.
To address this issue, only the cgroups from 'pids_over_limit' to root
will have their PIDCG_MAX counters increased and event notifications
generated.

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.
