David, Are you suggesting that we return -EOVERFLOW from within
btrfs_init_fs_root() and continue returning -ENOSPC in case of error
(i.e. tree_root->highest_objectid >= BTRFS_LAST_FREE_OBJECTID) from
open_ctree()?
If yes, btrfs_init_fs_root() gets invoked from open_ctree() via
btrfs_read_fs_root_no_name() and hence we may end up returning -EOVERFLOW when
servicing the mount() syscall.
