Note that the retry logic is only a heuristic. It is not guaranteed any
number of retries is enough, we just do three to not give up too easily...
Your patch effectively raised number of retries to 9 so that may have
masked the issue. But I don't think so high number of retries is a sensible
choice because that way it may take too long to return ENOSPC.
