[PATCH] [39/99] mm: fix ENOSPC returned by handle_mm_fault()

[Andi Kleen]

2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>

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.
