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.
