From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> vm_brk is allowed to fail but load_aout_binary simply ignores the error and happily continues. I haven't noticed any problem from that in real life but later patches will make the failure more likely because vm_brk will become killable (resp. mmap_sem for write waiting will become killable) so we should be more careful now. The error handling should be quite straightforward because there are calls to vm_mmap which check the error properly already. The only notable exception is set_brk which is called after beyond_if label. But nothing indicates that we cannot move it above set_binfmt as the two do not depend on each other and fail before we do set_binfmt and alter reference counting.
