That's what your commit 102f4d900c9c8f5e ("FS-Cache: Handle a write to the
page immediately beyond the EOF marker") does, and is also in its commit
description:

    Whilst we're at it, change the triggered assertion in CacheFiles to just
    return -ENOBUFS instead.

"ret" is used only to print the original error in a debug message.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
