The current ovlfs mount flow:

ovl_fill_super |_ovl_get_workdir |_ovl_make_workdir |_ovl_check_rename_whiteout

In ovl_check_rename_whiteout(), a new file is attempted to create.But if the upper doesn't have space to do this, it will return error -ENOSPC, causing the mount fail. It means that if the upper is full, the overlayfs cannot be mounted.It is not reasonable, so this patch will omit this error and continue mount flow.

This assumes that RENAME_WHITEOUT is supported. I rather assume it is not supported if the check fails. Like this is shorter (not tested):
