Thank you! Waiting little longer before merging to give others change to have look. Suggested-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Kind regards, Petr

The changes looks good, but can we please split the patch into two?

Use "ps -eT | wc -l" to calculate the number of used pid could have an incorrectly larger result because "ps -eT" may list the same pid multiple times (with different SPID). Instead, we could count used pid by traversing /proc directory and count the subdirectories that have name composed of digits. Increase PIDS_RESERVED to avoid fork failure.
