Process id's are most definitely reused. For historical reasons,
pid's are limited to 32768. When that is reached, they roll over. I'm
on my 3rd or fourth cycle currently.
I don't think there's any process termination notification within the
kernel.

I am attempting to track information within my nke on a per process
basis (along with per socket). It is my assumption that process
id's can be re-used. Does anyone have any information describing
whether or not this is true. If it is true, is there anyway that I
can be notified or find out when a process has gone away?
Thanks!
