commit 11d6761218d19ca06ae5387f4e3692c4fa9e7493 upstream.
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
