The last time when I encountered this, cifs client was reporting "Cannot
allocate memory" a.k.a -ENOMEM error. But, it is actually a
NT_STATUS_INSUFF_SERVER_RESOURCES error from Server being mapped to
-ENOMEM. I found this mapping confusing atleast initially. Is this
mapping correct?

Not sure do we have a POSIX equivalent of
NT_STATUS_INSUFF_SERVER_RESOURCES? Should we map it to a error code that
is more obvious?

Thanks
