Subject: [PATCH] ext4: only update tune mount options when requested
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 23:12:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810151200.1405562-1-guzebing1612@gmail.com> (raw)

EXT4_IOC_SET_TUNE_SB_PARAM uses set_flags to indicate which superblock
fields the caller wants to update. ext4_sb_setparams() checks set_flags
before updating the other supported fields, but always copied mount_opts
into the on-disk s_mount_opts field.

As a result, callers that do not set EXT4_TUNE_FL_MOUNT_OPTS can still
clear or alter the on-disk default mount options through their unused
mount_opts buffer. This can affect subsequent mounts by changing the
filesystem's stored default mount options.

Only copy mount_opts into s_mount_opts when EXT4_TUNE_FL_MOUNT_OPTS is set,
matching the set_flags semantics used by the other tuneable superblock
fields.

Fixes: 04a91570ac67 ("ext4: implemet new ioctls to set and get superblock parameters")
