Subject[RFC PATCH for 5.4 7/7] sched/membarrier: Return -ENOMEM to userspace on memory allocation failure
Date
Remove the IPI fallback code from membarrier to deal with very
infrequent cpumask memory allocation failure. Use GFP_KERNEL rather
than GFP_NOWAIT, and relax the blocking guarantees for the expedited
membarrier system call commands, allowing it to block if waiting for
memory to be made available.

In addition, now -ENOMEM can be returned to user-space if the cpumask
memory allocation fails.
