2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Al Viro commit e9baf6e59842285bcf9570f5094e4c27674a0f7c upstream In case when both EEXIST and EROFS would apply we used to return the former in mkdir(2) and friends. Lest anyone suspects us of being consistent, in the same situation knfsd gave clients nfs_erofs... ro-bind series had switched the syscall side of things to returning -EROFS and immediately broke an application - namely, mkdir -p. Patch restores the original behaviour...
