Subject: [PATCH 5.17 585/772] NFSv4/pNFS: Do not fail I/O when we fail to allocate the pNFS layout

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...merspace.com>

[ Upstream commit 3764a17e31d579cf9b4bd0a69894b577e8d75702 ]

Commit 587f03deb69b caused pnfs_update_layout() to stop returning ENOMEM
when the memory allocation fails, and hence causes it to fall back to
trying to do I/O through the MDS. There is no guarantee that this will
fare any better. If we're failing the pNFS layout allocation, then we
should just redirty the page and retry later.
