From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: do_swap_page(): fix up the error code do_swap_page() returns error codes from the VM_FAULT* space. try_charge() might return -ENOMEM, though, and then do_swap_page() simply returns 0 which means a success. We almost never return ENOMEM for GFP_KERNEL single page charge. Except for async OOM handling (oom_disabled v1). So this needs translation to VM_FAULT_OOM otherwise the the page fault path will not notify the userspace and wait for an action.
