Automounter maps can contain mount options valid for other NFS
implementations but not for Linux. The Linux automounter uses the
mount command's "-s" command line option ("s" for "sloppy") so that
mount requests containing such options are not rejected.
Commit f45663ce5fb30f76a3414ab3ac69f4dd320e760a attempted to address a
known regression with text-based NFS mount option parsing. Unrecognized
mount options would cause mount requests to fail, even if the "-s"
option was used on the mount command line.
Unfortunately, this commit was not complete as submitted. The commit
adds a new mount option, "sloppy". But it is missing a hunk, so it now
allows NFS mounts with unrecognized mount options, even if the "sloppy"
option is not present. This could be a problem if a required critical
mount option such as "sync" is misspelled, for example, and is considered
a regression from 2.6.26.
This patch restores the missing hunk. Now, the default behavior of
text-based NFS mount options is as before: any unrecognized mount option
will cause the mount to fail.
Please include this in 2.6.27-rc.
Thanks to Neil Brown for spotting this.
