[PATCH 0/4] gracefully handling mmap failures

With an out-of-the-box Linux kernel, I encountered failures at all of these mmap call sites via "git cat-file --batch" on a test repo with 100K total alternates.

While upping sys.vm.max_map_count and/or RLIMIT_DATA solves the problem, not all users have administrative privileges to do so.

Eric Wong (4):
  use_pack: attempt to handle ENOMEM from mmap
  map_loose_object_1: attempt to handle ENOMEM from mmap
  check_packed_git_idx: attempt to handle ENOMEM from mmap
  xmmap: inform Linux users of tuning knobs on ENOMEM
