mm_fault_error() should not execute oom-killer, if page fault occurs in kernel space. E.g. in copy_from_user()/copy_to_user(). This would happen if we find ourselves in OOM on a copy_to_user(), or a copy_from_user() which faults. Without this patch, the kernels hangs up in copy_from_user(), because OOM killer sends SIG_KILL to current process, but it can't handle a signal while in syscall, then the kernel returns to copy_from_user(), reexcute current command and provokes page_fault again. With this patch the kernel return -EFAULT from copy_from_user(). The code, which checks that page fault occurred in kernel space, has been copied from do_sigbus(). This situation is handled by the same way on powerpc, xtensa, tile, ... Signed-off-by: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: "H.
