Subject: mm: fix ENOSPC returned by handle_mm_fault()
From: Hugh Dickins <[email protected]>
commit e0dcd8a05be438b3d2e49ef61441ea3a463663f8 upstream.
Al Viro observes that in the hugetlb case, handle_mm_fault() may return
a value of the kind ENOSPC when its caller is expecting a value of the
kind VM_FAULT_SIGBUS: fix alloc_huge_page()'s failure returns.
