[CAUSE] RO compact flag only forces us to do RO mount, but we will still do log replay for plain RO mount. Thus this will result us to do log replay and update metadata. This can be very problematic for new RO compat flag, for example older kernel can not understand v2 cache, and if we allow metadata update on RO mount and invalidate/corrupt v2 cache. [FIX] Just reject the mount unless rescue=nologreplay is provided: BTRFS error (device dm-1): cannot replay dirty log with unsupport optional features (0x40000000), try rescue=nologreplay instead We don't want to set rescue=nologreply directly, as this would make the end user to read the old data, and cause confusion. Since the such case is really rare, we're mostly fine to just reject the mount with an error message, which also includes the proper workaround.

You are CC'ing stable 4.9+, but IIRC the rescue= mount option is relatively recent, so the message will need to be updated (4.9, at least, doesn't have it).
Yep, thus when this get merged, I'll manually backport the patch to older kernels. Thanks, Qu
Other than that it looks fine to me. It's clear that it's a problem with the free space tree, but with verity (the only other RO compat feature), I'm not sure we need this constraint, and it may happen more often since verity support is recent, unlike the free space tree which has been around for years.
