The syzcaller bot didn't complain about this for memfd yet, so I suspect not ;-)
With memfd since it uses shmem underneath, __vm_enough_memory() is
called during shmem_acct_block() which should take per-process memory
into account already and fail if there is not enough memory.
Should ION be doing something similar to fail if there's not enough memory?
