For me it's enough to just walk up the tree when changing pid_max. It seems unlikely that applications will create a sub pidns and then lower the max in their own pid_max. Famous last words and all that. Tycho

Not just because it has selftests but afaict the implementation is a bit more robust.

It is necessary to have a different pid_max in different containers. For example, multiple containers are running on a host, one of which is Android, and its 32 bit bionic libc only accepts pid <= 65535. So it requires the global pid_max <= 65535. This will cause configuration conflicts with other containers and also limit the maximum number of tasks for the entire system.
