A pNFS server may return LAYOUTUNAVAILABLE error on LAYOUTGET for files
which don't have any layout. In this situation pnfs_update_layout
currently returns NULL. As this NULL is converted into ENOMEM, IO
requests fails instead of falling back to MDS.
Do not return ENOMEM on LAYOUTUNAVAILABLE and let client retry through
MDS.
Fixes 8d40b0f14846f. I will suggest to backport this fix to affected
stable branches.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
