Chuck Lever a01bb1c5ca libfs: Return ENOSPC when the directory offset range is exhausted
[ Upstream commit 903dc9c43a155e0893280c7472d4a9a3a83d75a6 ]

Testing shows that the EBUSY error return from mtree_alloc_cyclic()
leaks into user space. The ERRORS section of "man creat(2)" says:

>	EBUSY	O_EXCL was specified in flags and pathname refers
>		to a block device that is in use by the system
>		(e.g., it is mounted).

ENOSPC is closer to what applications expect in this situation.

Note that the normal range of simple directory offset values is
2..2^63, so hitting this error is going to be rare to impossible.

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.
