More than this: amount of kernel stack is really, really something indirect if what you want to track is # of processes. Now, Hannes made a fair point in his other e-mail about what is a resource and what is not.

It depends if the kernel stack can have other kind of "consumer".

It also depends on what you really want to achieve.
If you want to prevent fork bombs, limiting kernel stack will do just fine.

Is there anything for which you need to know exactly the number of processes?
