NFS: Return error code from nfs_callback_up() to user space
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If the kernel cannot start the NFSv4 callback service during a mount
request, it returns -ENOMEM to user space, resulting in this message:

   mount.nfs4: Cannot allocate memory

Adjust nfs_alloc_client() and nfs_get_client() to pass NFSv4 callback
start-up errors back to user space so a less mysterious error message
can be displayed by the mount command.
