From: Caleb Kan depot_init_pool() decides whether another pool is needed before it increments pools_num. When it registers the last allowed pool, pools_num is still one below stack_max_pools, so the existing comparison clears new_pool. With new_pool cleared, stack_depot_save_flags() can allocate another order-2 pool after a lookup miss. depot_keep_new_pool() retains its pointer in the global new_pool, so the allocation is not lost. However, pools_num has already reached stack_max_pools, and depot_init_pool() rejects every attempt to register the pool. It remains allocated and unusable until reboot. The non-NULL pointer prevents later saves from allocating more spare pools. Account for the pool being registered in the limit check so registering the final pool installs STACK_DEPOT_POISON and prevents the extra allocation.
