[Cluster-devel] [PATCH] GFS2: Set s_mode before parsing mount options

[Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>]

----- Original Message -----
> In the generic mount_bdev() function, deactivate_locked_super() is
> called after the fill_super() call fails, at which point s_mode has been
> set. kill_block_super() expects this and dumps a warning when
> FMODE_EXCL is not set in s_mode.
> 
> In gfs2_mount() we call deactivate_locked_super() on failure of
> gfs2_mount_args(), at which point s_mode has not yet been set. This
> causes kill_block_super() to dump a stack trace when gfs2 fails to mount
> with invalid options. Set s_mode earlier in gfs2_mount() to avoid that.

Hi,
