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).

I still wish hch's opinion here though before merging it. Giving his was the
first RwB, I want to make sure he still keeps his RwB with the above change.
Sure.
FWIW, for a next patch, there is no need to copy ext4 list for a code change
that is totally unrelated to ext4. This just generates unnecessary extra
traffic.
Okay. I will keep this in mind.
