[BUG] The following script would allow invalid mount options to be specified (although such invalid options would just be ignored): # mkfs.btrfs -f $dev # mount $dev $mnt1 <<< Successful mount expected # mount $dev $mnt2 -o junk <<< Failed mount expected # echo $? 0 [CAUSE] For the 2nd mount, since the fs is already mounted, we won't go through open_ctree() thus no btrfs_parse_options(), but only through btrfs_parse_subvol_options(). However we do not treat unrecognized options from valid but irrelevant options, thus those invalid options would just be ignored by btrfs_parse_subvol_options(). [FIX] Add the handling for Opt_err to handle invalid options and error out, while still ignore other valid options inside btrfs_parse_subvol_options().
