[PATCH] pid: Fix error return value in some cases

From: minyard
Date: Fri Mar 06 2020 - 10:21:14 EST


From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@xxxxxxxxxx>

Recent changes to alloc_pid() allow the pid number to be specified on
the command line. If set_tid_size is set, then the code scanning the
levels will hard-set retval to -EPERM, overriding it's previous -ENOMEM
value.

After the code scanning the levels, there are error returns that do not
set retval, assuming it is still set to -ENOMEM.

In the first place, pid_ns_prepare_proc() returns its own error, just
use that.

In the second place:

if (!(ns->pid_allocated & PIDNS_ADDING))
goto out_unlock;

a return value of -ENOMEM is probably wrong, since that means that the
namespace is in deletion while this happened. -EINVAL is probably a
better choice.
