[patch] mm, hugetlb_cgroup: suppress SIGBUS when hugetlb_cgroup charge fails

From: David Rientjes
Date: Fri May 25 2018 - 16:16:52 EST


When charging to a hugetlb_cgroup fails, alloc_huge_page() returns
ERR_PTR(-ENOSPC) which will cause VM_FAULT_SIGBUS to be returned to the
page fault handler.

Instead, return the proper error code, ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM), so VM_FAULT_OOM
is handled correctly. This is consistent with failing mem cgroup charges
in the non-hugetlb fault path.

At the same time, restructure the return paths of alloc_huge_page() so it
is consistent.
