From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 903dc9c43a155e0893280c7472d4a9a3a83d75a6 upstream.
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.
Fixes: 6faddda69f62 ("libfs: Add directory operations for stable offsets")
