The patch titled Subject: exit: pidns: alloc_pid() leaks pid_namespace if child_reaper is exiting has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was exit-pidns-alloc_pid-leaks-pid_namespace-if-child_reaper-is-exiting.patch This patch was dropped because it was nacked ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: exit: pidns: alloc_pid() leaks pid_namespace if child_reaper is exiting alloc_pid() does get_pid_ns() beforehand but forgets to put_pid_ns() if it fails because disable_pid_allocation() was called by the exiting child_reaper. We can move get_pid_ns() down to successful return. While at it, simplify/cleanup the "goto out" mess, no need to confuse the success/error return paths.
