After `fs_param_is_blockdev` is implemented(in fs: add blockdev parser for filesystem mount option.), `journal_devnum` can be obtained from `result.uint_32` directly. Additionally, the `fs_lookup_param` did not consider the relative path for block device. When we mount ext4 with `journal_path` option using relative path, `param->dirfd` was not set which will cause mounting error. This can be reproduced easily like this: mke2fs -F -O journal_dev $JOURNAL_DEV -b 4096 100M mkfs.ext4 -F -J device=$JOURNAL_DEV -b 4096 $FS_DEV cd /dev; mount -t ext4 -o journal_path=`basename $JOURNAL_DEV` $FS_DEV $MNT Fixes: 461c3af045d3 ("ext4: Change handle_mount_opt() to use fs_parameter") Signed-off-by: Hongbo Li <lihongbo22@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ext4/super.c | 26 +------------------------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/super.c b/fs/ext4/super.c index c682fb927b64..94b39bcae99d 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/super.c +++ b/fs/ext4/super.c @@ -2290,39 +2290,15 @@ static int ext4_parse_param(struct fs_context *fc, struct fs_parameter *param) ctx->spec |= EXT4_SPEC_s_resgid; return 0; case Opt_journal_dev: - if (is_remount) { - ext4_msg(NULL, KERN_ERR, - "Cannot specify journal on remount"); - return -EINVAL; - } - ctx->journal_devnum = result.uint_32; - ctx->spec |= EXT4_SPEC_JOURNAL_DEV; - return 0; case Opt_journal_path: - { - struct inode *journal_inode; - struct path path; - int error; - if (is_remount) { ext4_msg(NULL, KERN_ERR, "Cannot specify journal on remount"); return -EINVAL; } - - error = fs_lookup_param(fc, param, 1, LOOKUP_FOLLOW, &path); - if (error) { - ext4_msg(NULL, KERN_ERR, "error: could not find " - "journal device path"); - return -EINVAL; - } - - journal_inode = d_inode(path.dentry); - ctx->journal_devnum = new_encode_dev(journal_inode->i_rdev); + ctx->journal_devnum = result.uint_32; ctx->spec |= EXT4_SPEC_JOURNAL_DEV; - path_put(&path); return 0; - } case Opt_journal_ioprio: if (result.uint_32 > 7) { ext4_msg(NULL, KERN_ERR, "Invalid journal IO priority" -- 2.34.1
