[PATCH -v2] vfs: make unlink() return ENOENT in preference to EROFS
From: Theodore Ts'o
Date: Mon Jun 06 2011 - 16:58:20 EST
If user space attempts to unlink a non-existent file, and the file
system is mounted read-only, return ENOENT instead of EROFS. Either
error code is arguably valid/correct, but ENOENT is a more specific
error message.
