Hi, We have a need to increase the kernel pid_max. Right now it's at the default 32768. The maximum allowable we can increase to is 99,999 due to 3rd party vendor limitations. When we increased it to that value this weekend, we noticed that even though next pid increased sequentially, the range 32769-65535 was explicitly skipped. I note that the range 32769-65535 would be the negative numbers in a signed 2 byte int. This indicates to me that maybe there is some sort of design/legacy issue forcing this behaviour. Because we can only increase to 99,9999, not having access to the above range has limited our available pids by 1/3. Could anyone point me to some sort of documentation explaining this logic?
