This function actually tries to figure out maximal number of elements a
directory can hold (it does not matter if these are files or
directories). So it should be renamed to tst_fs_fill_dir().
Moreover I've been unable to get EMLINK for any filesystem in this case,
it looks like ENOSPC is what you get when maximal number of elemenents
in directory is reached (the free space on filesystem is fine but you
are out of inodes/clusters etc).
I have, slightly modified version of this patch I will commit once this
function is figured out but before I do so I wanted to ask if you plan
to use this function for any testcase? If not I would remove it because
as it is it's not implemented correctly and fixing it would require more
research and effort.
