[discussion] ErrorKind::FilesystemQuotaExceeded from io_error_more

[GrigorenkoPV]

@rustbot label C-discussion

Main tracking issue: #86442

Background

The io_error_more feature introduced 21 new variants into ErrorKind. They were FCP'd back in December 2022, but there appeared to be quite a lot of disagreement about 4 of the added variants, so the stabilization (#106375) got stalled for over twenty months. Thankfully, the 17 uncontroversial variants got stabilized in #128316, so now we just need to iron out a satisfactory design for the remaining 4 variants, and then they can be stabilized too.

In order to not block any of the remaining variants on each other and to not intertwine the discussions, I've created 4 separate issues, which summarize the concerns & suggestions voiced up until this point and can serve as a place for further discussion.

• FilesystemLoop: [discussion] ErrorKind::FilesystemLoop from io_error_more #130188
• FilesystemQuotaExceeded: you are here
• CrossesDevices: [discussion] ErrorKind::CrossesDevices from io_error_more #130191
• InvalidFilename: [discussion] ErrorKind::InvalidFilename from io_error_more #130192

FilesystemQuotaExceeded

Currently corresponds to EDQUOT on Unix and ERROR_DISK_QUOTA_EXCEEDED on Windows. (#86442 (comment)). As well as WSAEDQUOT on Windows (#130206).

Current docs description:

Filesystem quota was exceeded.

Drop "Filesystem" from the name

Can FilesystemQuotaExceeded be renamed QuotaExceeded? AFAIK Linux has no other quota error and EDQUOT is also used generically (not only for filesystem quotas). A few other uses are visible here: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.5/ident/EDQUOT. The comment in errno.h simply describes it as "Quota exceeded".

With my libs-api hat on: 👍 for renaming FilesystemQuotaExceeded to QuotaExceeded, as OSes may use it for other kinds of quotas.

I am not quite so sure about [keeping "Filesystem" in the name of] FilesystemQuotaExceeded but again I think APIs in std won't produce this error other than for filesystem operations.

Seemingly a consensus.

Also map WSAEDQUOT on Windows

Done in #130206.

Old description

There is also the winsock error WSAEDQUOT. Shouldn't that be mapped [...] to QuotaExceeded?

Originally posted by kalcutter in #106375 (comment)

Yes, I think so. I'm not sure why we overlooked that. Generally I would expect that a WSAE error should be mapped the same way as the correspondingly named E error on Unix. I think I tired to do that. Are there other omissions?

A consensus.
