Subject: [PATCH] cifs: WARN_ON_ONCE if kernel_sendmsg() returns -ENOSPC
Date: Wed, 03 Oct 2012 21:27:12 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <506C6058.6060008@suse.com> (raw)

kernel_sendmsg() is less likely to return -ENOSPC and it might be
a bug to do so. However, in the past there might have been cases
where a -ENOSPC was returned from a low level driver.

Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to ensure that it is safe to assume that -ENOSPC
is no longer returned. This -ENOSPC specific handling will be removed
once we are sure it is no longer returned.
