[PATCH 3/3] tracing: Compare pid_max against pid_list capacity

From: Michal Koutný
Date: Mon Apr 08 2024 - 10:58:36 EST


trace_pid_list_alloc() checks pid_max against a magic number referencing
an (obsolete) source file when it actually should check against the
capacity of pid_list tree. Turn definition of MAX_PID around -- derive
it from tree parameters and replace references to magic value and
header files with so defined MAX_PID.
Should PID_MAX_LIMIT change in future or pid_max escapes PID_MAX_LIMIT,
appropriate checks remain in place. No functional change intended.
