Subject: [PATCH RESEND] pidns: fix free_pid() to handle the first fork failure
Date: Sun, 15 Sep 2013 19:26:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130915172648.GA16131@redhat.com> (raw)

"case 0" in free_pid() assumes that disable_pid_allocation() should
clear PIDNS_HASH_ADDING before the last pid goes away. However this
doesn't happen if the 1st fork() fails to create the child reaper
which should call disable_pid_allocation().
