Hi David,

Thanks for your reply :)

Yes, I saw the related discussion and your submission in the linux-fsdevel mailing list last year. :D
The code of erofs once had to support from 3.13 ~ the current kernel, therefore I didn't turn MS_RDONLY into SB_RDONLY.
But it seems that "vfs: Suppress MS_* flag defs within the kernel unless explicitly enabled" tends to remove them all.

I have submitted a patch to linux-erofs mailing list for preview.

I just fixed according to the latest linux-next tree (the same patchset, also for preview)
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linux-erofs/2018-July/000284.html

Once I tend to use void *data to pass more mount arguments on stack, eg.

struct erofs_mount_private {
	const char *dev_name;
	char *options;
};
...
struct erofs_mount_private priv = {
	.dev_name = dev_name,
	.options = data
};
return mount_bdev(fs_type, flags, dev_name, &priv, erofs_fill_super);


However, I have no idea if it is safe to do so in the future, so I also change it into a more stardard way.


BTW, It seems that Greg's staging tree doesn't have Al Viro's submission...
And I have little experience to handle that, so I just ask Chao for help...


Thanks for your kindly reminder :)

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
