I've pulled the patch now and applied. I think that restores the old behavior. If you don't mind, I'll add a comment on top of it saying something like: "ENOMEM is not the most obvious choice but it's the what we've been exposing to userspace for a long time and it's also documented behavior. So we can't easily change it to something more sensible." Acked-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@xxxxxxxxxx>
