The patch titled Subject: ocfs2: return -EROFS to mount.ocfs2 if inode block is invalid has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ocfs2-return-erofs-to-mountocfs2-if-inode-block-is-invalid.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/ocfs2-return-erofs-to-mountocfs2-if-inode-block-is-invalid.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/ocfs2-return-erofs-to-mountocfs2-if-inode-block-is-invalid.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: piaojun <piaojun@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ocfs2: return -EROFS to mount.ocfs2 if inode block is invalid If metadata is corrupted such as 'invalid inode block', we will get failed by calling 'mount()' and then set filesystem readonly as below: ocfs2_mount ocfs2_initialize_super ocfs2_init_global_system_inodes ocfs2_iget ocfs2_read_locked_inode ocfs2_validate_inode_block ocfs2_error ocfs2_handle_error ocfs2_set_ro_flag(osb, 0); // set readonly In this situation we need return -EROFS to 'mount.ocfs2', so that user can fix it by fsck. And then mount again. In addition, 'mount.ocfs2' should be updated correspondingly as it only return 1 for all errno. And I will post a patch for 'mount.ocfs2' too.
