fork.2: EAGAIN is not reported when task allocation fails
...
I am not sure why we have:
"EAGAIN fork() cannot allocate sufficient memory to copy
the parent's page tables and allocate a task structure
or the child."
The text seems to be there from the time when man-pages
were moved to git so there is no history for it.
And it doesn't reflect reality: the kernel reports both
dup_task_struct and dup_mm failures as ENOMEM to the
userspace. This seems to be the case from early 2.x times
so let's simply remove this part.
