commit 099d7439ce03d0e7bc8f0c3d7878b562f3a48d3d upstream. Users complained about OOM errors during fork without triggering compaction. This can be fixed by modifying the flags used in mas_expected_entries() so that the compaction will be triggered in low memory situations. Since mas_expected_entries() is only used during fork, the extra argument does not need to be passed through. Additionally, the two test_maple_tree test cases and one benchmark test were altered to use the correct locking type so that allocations would not trigger sleeping and thus fail. Testing was completed with lockdep atomic sleep detection. The additional locking change requires rwsem support additions to the tools/ directory through the use of pthreads pthread_rwlock_t. With this change test_maple_tree works in userspace, as a module, and in-kernel. Users may notice that the system gave up early on attempting to start new processes instead of attempting to reclaim memory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
