Yes as described in the above paragraph. > In the past we fell back to killing the calling process. Yeah, but this is no longer the case since 6f48d0ebd907a (more than 10 years ago. Anyway this is not really important because if you want to kill the allocating task because there is no chance the fault can succed then there is a SIGBUS as already mentioned. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
