Seriously. I must have missed something, but I can't understand 519e52473eb
"mm: memcg: enable memcg OOM killer only for user faults".
The changelog says:
System calls and kernel faults (uaccess, gup) can handle an out of
memory situation gracefully and just return -ENOMEM.
How can a system call know it should return -ENOMEM if put_user() can only
return -EFAULT ?
