Subject[34-longterm 049/179] mm: fix ENOSPC returned by handle_mm_fault()
Date
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>

-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------
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.
