In the current code we accidentally return the successful result from
idr_alloc() instead of a negative error pointer. The caller is looking
for an error pointer and so it treats the returned value as a valid
pointer.
This one might be a bit serious because if it lets people get around the
kernel's protection for remapping NULL. I'm not sure.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
