From ecc2bc8ac03884266cf73f8a2a42b911465b2fbc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Mon, 23 May 2016 16:25:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm, elf: handle vm_brk error load_elf_library doesn't handle vm_brk failure although nothing really indicates it cannot do that because the function is allowed to fail due to vm_mmap failures already. This might be not a problem now but later patch will make vm_brk killable (resp. mmap_sem for write waiting will become killable) and so the failure will be more probable.
