Subject: mm: memcg: enable memcg OOM killer only for user faults
From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 519e52473ebe9db5cdef44670d5a97f1fd53d721 upstream.
System calls and kernel faults (uaccess, gup) can handle an out of memory
situation gracefully and just return -ENOMEM.
Enable the memcg OOM killer only for user faults, where it's really the
only option available.
