The patch titled
Subject: mm, aout: handle vm_brk failures
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-aout-handle-vm_brk-failures.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm, aout: handle vm_brk failures
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.
