What I meant was, your code is counting error_event_marks.
Every mark accounts for either 1 or 0 queued events, because more
errors from the same fs would merge with the single queued event.
I thought we could have one more event per fs being copied to user
but really we could potentially have many events allocated, before
being "merged", so my calculation was wrong.
Anyway, as Jan explained, the limited size of mempool does not doom
allocations to fail, so we probably have nothing to worry about and
there is no need to mempool_resize().
Thanks,
Amir.
