Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: check if the to-be-added device is writable
Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:43:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ED349C2.1030705@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

If we call ioctl(BTRFS_IOC_ADD_DEV) directly, we'll succeed in adding
a readonly device to a btrfs filesystem, and btrfs will write to
that device, emitting kernel errors:

[ 3109.833692] lost page write due to I/O error on loop2
[ 3109.833720] lost page write due to I/O error on loop2
...
