kvmtool: virtio-9p: Convert EMFILE error at the server to ENFILE for the guest
If an open at the 9p server(host) fails with EMFILE (Too many open files for
the process), we should return ENFILE(too many open files in the system) to
the guest to indicate the actual status within the guest.
This was uncovered during LTP, where getdtablesize01 fails to open the maximum
number-open-files.
getdtablesize01 0 TINFO : Maximum number of files a process can have opened is 1024
getdtablesize01 0 TINFO : Checking with the value returned by getrlimit...RLIMIT_NOFILE
getdtablesize01 1 TPASS : got correct dtablesize, value is 1024
getdtablesize01 0 TINFO : Checking Max num of files that can be opened by a process.Should be: RLIMIT_NOFILE - 1
getdtablesize01 2 TFAIL : getdtablesize01.c:102: 974 != 1023
For a more practial impact:
# ./getdtablesize01 &
[1] 1834
getdtablesize01 0 TINFO : Maximum number of files a process can have opened is 1024
getdtablesize01 0 TINFO : Checking with the value returned by getrlimit...RLIMIT_NOFILE
getdtablesize01 1 TPASS : got correct dtablesize, value is 1024
getdtablesize01 0 TINFO : Checking Max num of files that can be opened by a process.Should be: RLIMIT_NOFILE - 1
getdtablesize01 2 TFAIL : getdtablesize01.c:102: 974 != 1023
[--- Modified to sleep indefinitely, without closing the files --- ]
# ls
bash: /bin/ls: Too many open files
That gives a wrong error message for the bash, when getdtablesize01 has exhausted the system
wide limits, giving false indicators.
With the fix, we get :
# ls
bash: /bin/ls: Too many open files in system
