This can be fixed either by fixing the test or by moving the increment to be before the test. Fix it my moving copy_creds which contains the increment before is_ucounts_overlimit. In the case of CLONE_NEWUSER the ucounts in the task_cred changes. The function is_ucounts_overlimit needs to use the final version of the ucounts for the new process. Which means moving the is_ucounts_overlimit test after copy_creds is necessary. Both the test in fork and the test in set_user were semantically changed when the code moved to ucounts. The change of the test in fork was bad because it was before the increment. The test in set_user was wrong and the change to ucounts fixed it. So this fix only restores the old behavior in one lcation not two.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
