Maybe some code returns VM_FAULT_OOM by mistake and pagefault_oom_killer()
is called. digging mm/memory.c is necessary...

I wonder why...now is this code
===
static int do_nonlinear_fault(struct mm_struct *mm, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
                unsigned long address, pte_t *page_table, pmd_t *pmd,
                unsigned int flags, pte_t orig_pte)
{
        pgoff_t pgoff;

        flags |= FAULT_FLAG_NONLINEAR;

	if (!pte_unmap_same(mm, pmd, page_table, orig_pte))
                return 0;

        if (unlikely(!(vma->vm_flags & VM_NONLINEAR))) {
                /*
                 * Page table corrupted: show pte and kill process.
                 */
                print_bad_pte(vma, address, orig_pte, NULL);
                return VM_FAULT_OOM;
        }

        pgoff = pte_to_pgoff(orig_pte);
        return __do_fault(mm, vma, address, pmd, pgoff, flags, orig_pte);
}
==
Then, OOM...is this really OOM ?

Thanks,
