When this feature is requested, the error value will be set to -EPERM after exiting the pid allocation loop. This caused EPERM to be returned when e.g. the init process/child subreaper of the pid namespace has already died where we used to return ENOMEM before. The first patch here simply fixes the regression by unconditionally setting the return value back to ENOMEM again once we've successfully allocated the requested pid number. This should be easy to backport to v5.5. The second patch adds a comment explaining that we must keep returning ENOMEM since we've been doing it for a long time and have explicitly documented this behavior for userspace. This seemed worthwhile because we now have at least two separate example where people tried to change the return value to something other than ENOMEM (The first version of the regression fix did that too and the commit message links to an earlier patch that tried to do the same.). I have a simple regression test to make sure we catch this regression in the future but since that introduces a whole new selftest subdir and test files I'll keep this for v5.7" * tag 'for-linus-2020-03-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: pid: make ENOMEM return value more obvious pid: Fix error return value in some cases |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
