From: Michal Hocko <[email protected]> load_elf_library doesn't handle vm_brk failure although nothing really indicates it cannot do that because the function is allowed to fail due to vm_mmap failures already. This might be not a problem now but later patch will make vm_brk killable (resp. mmap_sem for write waiting will become killable) and so the failure will be more probable.
