It is very simple. But it does break things :-(. If I read one of these files
using "dd bs=1", that used to read the whole file (while generating
lots of SMI). With the -EAGAIN it just reads 100 bytes and says:
dd: error reading 'DefSetup-e8a99903-302c-4851-a6be-ab2731873b2f': Resource temporarily unavailable
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
100 bytes copied, 0.153943 s, 0.6 kB/s

I can try that tomorrow (adding the per-user mutex to struct user_struct
right next to the ratelimit I added.
