Just use VM_FAULT_OOM directly.
 
Ok.

What if the error is EEXIST because somebody else raced with you to add
a new page to the page cache?
Right, for -EEXIST I need a retry here, thanks.

Does this work correctly if somebody else has a reference to the page
in the meantime?
Yes, it does. If somebody else won the race that page was dropped from the
direct map and this call would be essentially a nop. And anyway, the very
next patch changes the way pages are removed from the direct map ;-)

Once you've added it to the cache, somebody else can come along and try
to lock it.  They will set PageWaiter.  Now you call __SetPageUptodate
and wipe out their PageWaiter bit.  So you won't wake them up when you
unlock.

You can call __SetPageUptodate before adding it to the page cache,
but once it's visible to another thread, you can't do that.
Will fix.

You're supposed to return the page locked, so use find_lock_page() instead
of find_get_page().
Ok/
