[PATCH] ext4: check incompatible mount options when mounting ext2/3 [V2]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This checks for incompatible mounting options when using ext4 module to mount
ext3 or ext2 filesystems.

Sets two new flags to group ext4 mount options that are incompatible with ext2
and ext3, and then add two functions -- check_ext2/3_incompat_mount() -- to
check and warn/fail mount, if any of these options are being used.

I believe, some options like those expecting an argument needs to be checked
during parsing time.

barrier mount, although it has a flag, when mounting an ext2fs, where barriers
are not supported (afaik), should also be checked during parse time, otherwise
the BARRIER mount flag will be set.

I didn't add all mount options I believe to need to raise a warning, just
those with a flag set on superblock, another flags should be added after a
discussion to reach a concensus of all ext2/3 options that should be rejected by
ext4 mount.

Changelog:
	V2 - Fail a mount instead of just warning
