From b26ebfe12f34f372cf041c6f801fa49c3fb382c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corey Minyard Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2020 11:23:14 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] pid: Fix error return value in some cases 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. So set retval back to -ENOMEM after scanning the levels.
