Thanks for the patch. After discussing what MMP guards against and what it does not protect, I don't think this change is actually needed. Under normal conditions we expect kmmpd() to only write to MMP block, checking of MMP block is done only in ext4_multi_mount_protect(). And for checking there to trigger, using 'seq' starting from 1 in kmmpd is enough... Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR
