[Cluster-devel] [PATCH] GFS2: return -E2BIG if hit the maximum limits of ACLs

[Jeff Liu]

From: Jie Liu <jeff.liu at oracle.com>

Return -E2BIG rather than -EINVAL if hit the maximum size limits of
ACLs, as the former errno is consistent with VFS xattr syscalls.

This is pointed out by Dave Chinner in previous discussion thread:
