Folks,
recently I have seen page allocation failures during
paging in the paging code:
e.g.

This seems to be new in 4.11 but the relevant code did not seem to have
changed.
Something like this
diff --git a/mm/swapfile.c b/mm/swapfile.c
index 1781308..b2dd53e 100644

}
seems not appropriate, because this code does not know if the caller can
handle returned errors.
Would something like the following (white space damaged cut'n'paste be ok?
(the try_to_unmap_one change looks fine, not sure if copy_one_pte does the
right thing)
