The patch titled ext3: refuse ro to rw remount of fs with orphan inodes has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ext3-refuse-ro-to-rw-remount-of-fs-with-orphan.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ext3: refuse ro to rw remount of fs with orphan inodes From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx> In the rare case where we have skipped orphan inode processing due to a readonly block device, and the block device subsequently changes back to read-write, disallow a remount,rw transition of the filesystem when we have an unprocessed orphan inodes as this would corrupt the list. Ideally we should process the orphan inode list during the remount, but that's trickier, and this plugs the hole for now. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Stephen C.
