From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 757a69ef6cf2bf839bd4088e5609ddddd663b0c4 upstream. There are dueling comments in the xfs code about intent for log writes when unmounting a readonly filesystem. In xfs_mountfs, we see the intent: /* * Now the log is fully replayed, we can transition to full read-only * mode for read-only mounts. This will sync all the metadata and clean * the log so that the recovery we just performed does not have to be * replayed again on the next mount. */ and it calls xfs_quiesce_attr(), but by the time we get to xfs_log_unmount_write(), it returns early for a RDONLY mount: * Don't write out unmount record on read-only mounts. Because of this, sequential ro mounts of a filesystem with a dirty log will replay the log each time, which seems odd. Fix this by writing an unmount record even for RO mounts, as long as norecovery wasn't specified (don't write a clean log record if a dirty log may still be there!) and the log device is writable.
