There's a long comment about handling non-remountable
options in xfs_fs_remount, but nothing addresses the case
of completely bogus mount options at remount time, which
can lead to some severe strangeness:

# for I in `seq 1 10`; do mount -o remount,noacl /mnt/test2; done
# for I in `seq 1 10`; do mount -o remount,badoption /mnt/test2; done
# grep sdb4 /etc/mtab
/dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2 xfs rw,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,badoption,badoption,badoption,badoption,badoption,badoption,badoption,badoption,badoption,badoption 0 0

This is a bit of a hack, but we can re-use xfs_parseargs()
with a dummy mount struct to just vet all of the remount
options which were passed in.  With this, we get a saner
result:

[44898.102990] EXT4-fs (sdb4): Unrecognized mount option "badoption" or missing value

if we try to remount with something ridiculous.

In the long run we should probably revamp a lot of the mount option
handling...

I don't seem to get the duplicate mtab entries on a top of tree kernel.
Is this still appropriate?

Maybe different mount(8) behavior on your system?  (probably symlinked to /proc/mounts)

On RHEL6:

# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test
# for I in `seq 1 10`; do mount -o remount,noacl /mnt/test; done
# mount | grep sdb1
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/test type xfs (rw,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl)
# uname -a
Linux hostname 3.12.0-rc4+ #41 SMP Fri Oct 11 19:43:01 CDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Yep, confirmed the described behavior on a RHEL 6 box without patch.
The patch looks good.
