Bug: When we compile the kernel with CONFIG_XFS_SUPPORT_V4=y, remount with "-o remount,noattr2" on a v5 XFS does not fail explicitly. Reproduction: mkfs.xfs -f /dev/loop0 mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/scratch mount -o remount,noattr2 /dev/loop0 /mnt/scratch However, with CONFIG_XFS_SUPPORT_V4=n, the remount correctly fails explicitly. This is because the way the following 2 functions are defined: static inline bool xfs_has_attr2 (struct xfs_mount *mp) { return !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_XFS_SUPPORT_V4) || (mp->m_features & XFS_FEAT_ATTR2); } static inline bool xfs_has_noattr2 (const struct xfs_mount *mp) { return mp->m_features & XFS_FEAT_NOATTR2; } xfs_has_attr2() returns true when CONFIG_XFS_SUPPORT_V4=n and hence, the following if condition in xfs_fs_validate_params() succeeds and returns -EINVAL: /* * We have not read the superblock at this point, so only the attr2 * mount option can set the attr2 feature by this stage. */ if (xfs_has_attr2(mp) && xfs_has_noattr2(mp)) { xfs_warn(mp, "attr2 and noattr2 cannot both be specified."); return -EINVAL; } With CONFIG_XFS_SUPPORT_V4=y, xfs_has_attr2() always return false and hence no error is returned. Fix: Check if the existing mount has crc enabled(i.e, of type v5 and has attr2 enabled) and the remount has noattr2, if yes, return -EINVAL. I have tested xfs/{189,539} in fstests with v4 and v5 XFS with both CONFIG_XFS_SUPPORT_V4=y/n and they both behave as expected. This patch also fixes remount from noattr2 -> attr2 (on a v4 xfs).
