pid: Handle failure to allocate the first pid in a pid namespace
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
With the replacement of the pid bitmap and hashtable with an idr in
alloc_pid started occassionally failing when allocating the first pid
in a pid namespace.  Things were not completely reset resulting in
the first allocated pid getting the number 2 (not 1).  Which
further resulted in ns->proc_mnt not getting set and eventually
causing an oops in proc_flush_task.

---[ end trace 53d67a6481059862 ]---

Improve the quality of the implementation by resetting the place to
start allocating pids on failure to allocate the first pid.

As improving the quality of the implementation is the goal remove the now
unnecesarry disable_pid_allocations call when we fail to mount proc.

Fixes: 95846ec ("pid: replace pid bitmap implementation with IDR API")
Fixes: 8ef047a ("pid namespaces: make alloc_pid(), free_pid() and put_pid() work with struct upid")
