mm, memcg: fix error return value of mem_cgroup_css_alloc()
When I run my memcg testcase which creates lots of memcgs, I found there're unexpected out of memory logs while there're still enough available free memory. The error log is mkdir: cannot create directory 'foo.65533': Cannot allocate memory The reason is when we try to create more than MEM_CGROUP_ID_MAX memcgs, an -ENOMEM errno will be set by mem_cgroup_css_alloc(), but the right errno should be -ENOSPC "No space left on device", which is an appropriate errno for userspace's failed mkdir. As the errno really misled me, we should make it right. After this patch, the error log will be mkdir: cannot create directory 'foo.65533': No space left on device [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/EBUSY/ENOSPC/, per Michal] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/EBUSY/ENOSPC/, per Michal] Fixes: 73f576c04b94 ("mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure after many small jobs") Suggested-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov.dev@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200407063621.GA18914@dhcp22.suse.cz Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1586192163-20099-1-git-send-email-laoar.shao@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
