This is my take on parts of the execve large arguments copying issues that Kees posted about, and Brad and others have been discussing. I've only looked at the narrow area of the argument copying code itself. I think these are good and necessary fixes. But I'm not addressing the whole OOM killer/mm accounting issue, which also needs to be fixed (and I have the impression others are already looking into that).
Now, we have two OOM-Killer/mm acounting problem. 1) OOM-killer doesn't track nascent mm and It may kill innocent task 2) When execve argument-copying, our __vm_enough_memory() doesn't protect any wrong plenty argument. then, execve() invoke OOM instead return failure value when larger argument than system memory. The patch series addressed this two issue.
