And a quick kgdb session:

(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0

next_pidmap (pid_ns=0xffffffff82827000, last=<value optimized out>) at
kernel/pid.c:229

(gdb) p map
$1 = (struct pidmap *) 0x1fffff82745c68

(gdb) p iter
$8 = {tgid = 2405651902, task = 0x0}

Might it be unsigned (2405651902) vs signed (-1889315394) problem? The
map is counted as

map = &pid_ns->pidmap[(last + 1)/BITS_PER_PAGE];

so
