arena_vm_fault() allocated the page while holding arena->spinlock, so it could only use the non-blocking allocator, which never reclaims. Once the memcg is at memory.max that allocation just fails, the fault turns into VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and the process gets a SIGSEGV on a perfectly valid arena address. Hitting memory.max is routine (e.g. page cache from reading a big file), so this kills innocent processes over memory that reclaim could have freed.
Rework the fault handler: - Preallocate the page before taking the lock, like do_anonymous_page() does, so it can sleep and reclaim, instead of turning a routine memory.max into a fake segfault. The allocation never invokes the OOM killer, see bpf_map_alloc_page_sleepable(). - On allocation failure fall through to the locked recheck rather than failing right away: a page a concurrent allocator installed meanwhile is used, otherwise the non-blocking fallback fails and we return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS. Not VM_FAULT_OOM: nothing ran the OOM killer, and the fault path would just retry it forever. - A lockless probe skips that preallocation when a page is already mapped (e.g. allocated by the bpf program), so the common case wastes no allocation. The rare race where such a page is freed before we take the lock falls back to the non-blocking allocator under the lock. - Return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS for the other non-recoverable errors (lock failure, range-tree and page-table failures) instead of VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV; only BPF_F_SEGV_ON_FAULT, and a scratch-page hole under that flag, is a real user addressing error and keeps VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV. - Tidy up the error labels.
