From 171012f561274784160f666f8398af8b42216e1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Vyukov Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2017 16:40:27 -0700 Subject: mm: don't warn when vmalloc() fails due to a fatal signal When vmalloc() fails it prints a very lengthy message with all the details about memory consumption assuming that it happened due to OOM. However, vmalloc() can also fail due to fatal signal pending. In such case the message is quite confusing because it suggests that it is OOM but the numbers suggest otherwise. The messages can also pollute console considerably. Don't warn when vmalloc() fails due to fatal signal pending.
