From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> If the reiserfs mount option's journal name contains a '%' character, it can lead to a WARN_ONCE() in lib/vsprintf.c::format_decode(), saying: "Please remove unsupported %/ in format string." That's OK until panic_on_warn is set, at which point it's dead, Jim. To placate this situation, check the journal name string for a '%' character and return an error if one is found. Also print a warning (one that won't panic the kernel) about the invalid journal name (e.g.): reiserfs: journal device name is invalid: %/file0 (In this example, the caller app specified the journal device name as "%/file0".)
