Directly comparing current->personality against PER_LINUX32 doesn't work in cases when any of the personality flags stored in the top three bytes are used. Directly forcefully setting personality to PER_LINUX32 or PER_LINUX discards any flags stored in the top three bytes Use personality() macro to compare only PER_MASK bytes and make sure that we are setting only the bits that should be set, instead of overwriting the whole value.
