Yes actually I wanted to look both ENOMEM case and EBUSY case.
Even in EBUSY case, we can look how much available pages existed, but all failed on those region because of EBUSY.
We may not need EINTR case, but I hope to look.

Yes fragmentation can be A problem, but bitmap status will explain EBUSY case too as I explained above.

Thank you I will change as you and Michal Nazarewichz commented.
