4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Sandeen <sand...@sandeen.net>
commit 757a69ef6cf2bf839bd4088e5609ddddd663b0c4 upstream.
There are dueling comments in the xfs code about intent
for log writes when unmounting a readonly filesystem.
In xfs_mountfs, we see the intent:
/*
* Now the log is fully replayed, we can transition to full read-only
* mode for read-only mounts. This will sync all the metadata and clean
* the log so that the recovery we just performed does not have to be
* replayed again on the next mount.
*/
and it calls xfs_quiesce_attr(), but by the time we get to
xfs_log_unmount_write(), it returns early for a RDONLY mount:
* Don't write out unmount record on read-only mounts.
Because of this, sequential ro mounts of a filesystem with
a dirty log will replay the log each time, which seems odd.
Fix this by writing an unmount record even for RO mounts, as long
as norecovery wasn't specified (don't write a clean log record
if a dirty log may still be there!) and the log device is
writable.
