Currently, when the enqueueing of a request or forget operation fails with -ENOMEM, the enqueueing is retried after a timeout. This patch removes this behavior and treats -ENOMEM in these scenarios like any other error. By bubbling up the error to user space in the case of a request, and by dropping the operation in case of a forget. This behavior matches that of the FUSE layer above, and also simplifies the error handling. The latter will come in handy for upcoming patches that optimize the retrying of operations in case of -ENOSPC.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
