What happens with a task resources when a task crashes or it leaks resources at exit? How this resources (e.g. memory, file descriptors, any other capabilities) are reclaimed back by the o.s. ?
FDs and caps are local to the task, so just memory. Providers need to check whether there are any further users of their resource and if not they can free it (the kernel provides support for doing so).
