From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Wed Aug 05 2015 - 18:12:54 EST


3.19.8-ckt5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sanidhya Kashyap <sanidhya.gatech@xxxxxxxxx>

commit ce657611baf902f14ae559ce4e0787ead6712067 upstream.

There is a possibility of nothing being allocated to the new_opts in
case of memory pressure, therefore return ENOMEM for such case.
