When exporting only one file system with fsid=0 on the server side, the
client alternately uses the ro/rw mount options to perform the mount
operation, and a new vfsmount is generated each time.
It can be reproduced as follows:
[root@localhost ~]# mount /dev/sda /mnt2
[root@localhost ~]# echo "/mnt2 *(rw,no_root_squash,fsid=0)" >/etc/exports
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl restart nfs-server
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t nfs -o ro,vers=4 127.0.0.1:/ /mnt/sdaa
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t nfs -o rw,vers=4 127.0.0.1:/ /mnt/sdaa
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t nfs -o ro,vers=4 127.0.0.1:/ /mnt/sdaa
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t nfs -o rw,vers=4 127.0.0.1:/ /mnt/sdaa
[root@localhost ~]# mount | grep nfs4
127.0.0.1:/ on /mnt/sdaa type nfs4 (ro,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,...
127.0.0.1:/ on /mnt/sdaa type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,...
127.0.0.1:/ on /mnt/sdaa type nfs4 (ro,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,...
127.0.0.1:/ on /mnt/sdaa type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,...
[root@localhost ~]#
We expected that after mounting with the ro option, using the rw option to
mount again would return EBUSY, but the actual situation was not the case.
As shown above, when mounting for the first time, a superblock with the ro
flag will be generated, and at the same time, in do_new_mount_fc -->
do_add_mount, it detects that the superblock corresponding to the current
target directory is inconsistent with the currently generated one
(path->mnt->mnt_sb != newmnt->mnt.mnt_sb), and a new vfsmount will be
generated.
When mounting with the rw option for the second time, since no matching
superblock can be found in the fs_supers list, a new superblock with the
rw flag will be generated again. The superblock in use (ro) is different
from the newly generated superblock (rw), and a new vfsmount will be
generated again.
When mounting with the ro option for the third time, the superblock (ro)
is found in fs_supers, the superblock in use (rw) is different from the
found superblock (ro), and a new vfsmount will be generated again.
We can switch between ro/rw through remount, and only one superblock needs
to be generated, thus avoiding the problem of repeated generation of
vfsmount caused by switching superblocks.
Furthermore, This can also resolve the issue described in the link.
