Only way I see this happening is if the logic in
kernel/pid_namespace.c:create_pid_cachep() which sets the object size
for the struct pid allocation of this pid namespace based on
parent_pid_namespace->level + 1 is broken. The way this works is:

    struct pid
    {
            [snip]
            struct upid numbers[1];
    };

    create_pid_namespace()
    {
            unsigned int level = parent_pid_ns->level + 1;
            ns->pid_cachep = create_pid_cachep(level);
    }

and then during fork:

    alloc_pid()
    {
            pid = kmem_cache_alloc(ns->pid_cachep, GFP_KERNEL);
    }

So effectively, the wrong level must've been set in
create_pid_namespace() so that the flexible array allocation is too
small.

I don't have time to debug this tbh. Ccing Kees maybe there's some
flexible array stuff going on I'm unaware of.
