[PATCH 2/2] xfs: remove readonly checks from xfs_release & xfs_inactive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



xfs_release & xfs_inactive both had early returns for readonly
mounts.

Ultimately, this means that when we do log recovery on a
read-only mount, we do not process unlinked inodes, because
of this misguided effort to not do /any/ IO, ever, on a readonly
mount.  IO at mount time is fine, and expected - after all we
just got done doing log recovery!  Even ro mounts, without the
norecovery flag, can do enough IO to put the filesystem in a
consistent state.

We should not get here after mount is complete; at that point
the vfs will not allow anything from userspace to make
modifications which would get us here with any IO to do - 
we can't unlink files, or create blocks past eof, etc.
So it's safe to just remove these checks.
