[ 06/47] namespaces, pid_ns: fix leakage on fork() failure

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri May 18 2012 - 19:20:35 EST


3.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Galbraith <efault@xxxxxx>

commit 5e2bf0142231194d36fdc9596b36a261ed2b9fe7 upstream.

Fork() failure post namespace creation for a child cloned with
CLONE_NEWPID leaks pid_namespace/mnt_cache due to proc being mounted
during creation, but not unmounted during cleanup. Call
pid_ns_release_proc() during cleanup.
