Ah, yes, off-by-one error...

Gargi, I don't think you need to make another version, I'd suggest you to send
the trivial fix to Andrew, afaics you just need to replace these 2 lines with

unsigned int last;
int err;

tmp.data = &last;
err = proc_dointvec_minmax(&tmp, write, buffer, lenp, ppos);
if (!err)
idr_set_cursor(&pid_ns->idr, last + 1);
return err;

Oleg.
