https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76101 Bug ID: 76101 Summary: [TRIVIAL] PTHREAD_CREATE(3): EAGAIN and pid_max Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: carstengrohmann@xxxxxx Regression: No Hi, The system-wide limit on the number of threads can also reached by a small value in /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max. E.g. RHEL5 and RHEL6 systems uses a default of 32768 in pid_max probably for compatibility with 32bit applications. This causes an EAGAIN also if the number of threads is significant lower than thread-max or RLIMIT_NPROC. Please extent the EAGAIN statement to reflect pid_max too.
