You should check for audit_contid_count == AUDIT_CONTID_COUNT here, no?
or at least >=, since you increment it below. Otherwise its possible
that you will exceed it by one in the full condition.

Just to ask the question, since it wasn't clear in the changelog, what
abuse are you avoiding here? Ostensibly you should be able to create as
many container ids as you have space for, and the simple creation of
container ids doesn't seem like the resource strain I would be concerned
about here, given that an orchestrator can still create as many
containers as the system will otherwise allow, which will consume
significantly more ram/disk/etc.
