It will be better to have ENOMEM return rather than EIO,because
the only reason that sb_getblk fails is allocation fails.

<formletter>

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
for how to do this properly.

Did Wang Shilong bcc stable@vger.kernel.org?  He didn't need to send
this to linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org (the linux-ext4 list is
sufficient), but I didn't see anything which indicated he was trying
to submit this for inclusion in the stable kernel tree.

My personal opinion is this isn't an important enough patch to warrant
going into stable@vger.kernel.org, although I don't think it would do
any harm or is really dangerous, so I wouldn't object strongly if it did.

I did mark a similar change for ext4 as going to stable, but not
because of the error code change; but rather because I also fixed a
problem where an out-of-memory failure might result in the file system
getting marked as containing errors (and thus might cause an unneeded
fsck).

Cheers,

						- Ted

Yes he did, which triggered my semi-automatic-bot response.
