Tetsuo Handa 5459061240 tty: Use __GFP_NOFAIL for tty_ldisc_get()
commit bcdd0ca8cb upstream.

syzbot is reporting crashes triggered by memory allocation fault injection
at tty_ldisc_get() [1]. As an attempt to handle OOM in a graceful way, we
have tried commit 5362544beb ("tty: don't panic on OOM in
tty_set_ldisc()"). But we reverted that attempt by commit a8983d01f9
("Revert "tty: don't panic on OOM in tty_set_ldisc()"") due to reproducible
crash. We should spend resource for finding and fixing race condition bugs
rather than complicate error paths for 2 * sizeof(void *) bytes allocation
failure.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
