From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c5c68724696e7d2f8db58a5fce3673208d35c485 ] Before this patch, gfs2_fitrim was not properly checking for a "live" file system. If the file system had something to trim and the file system was read-only (or spectator) it would start the trim, but when it starts the transaction, gfs2_trans_begin returns -EROFS (read-only file system) and it errors out. However, if the file system was already trimmed so there's no work to do, it never called gfs2_trans_begin. That code is bypassed so it never returns the error. Instead, it returns a good return code with 0 work. All this makes for inconsistent behavior: The same fstrim command can return -EROFS in one case and 0 in another. This tripped up xfstests generic/537 which reports the error as: +fstrim with unrecovered metadata just ate your filesystem This patch adds a check for a "live" (iow, active journal, iow, RW) file system, and if not, returns the error properly.
