Subject: [PATCH 2/2] bcachefs: don't expose "read_only" as a mount option
Date: Sun, 26 May 2024 13:08:20 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240526190820.606162-2-tahbertschinger@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240526190820.606162-1-tahbertschinger@gmail.com>

When "read_only" is exposed as a mount option, it is redundant with the
standard option "ro" and gives users multiple ways to specify that a
bcachefs filesystem should be mounted read-only. This presents the risk
of having inconsistent options specified.

This can be seen when remounting a read-only filesystem in read-write
mode, using mount(8) from util-linux. Because mount(8) parses the
existing mount options from `/proc/mounts` and applies them when
remounting, it can end up applying both "read_only" and "rw":

$ mount img -o ro /mnt
$ strace mount -o remount,rw /mnt
...
fsconfig(4, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "read_only", NULL, 0) = 0
fsconfig(4, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "rw", NULL, 0) = 0
...

Making "read_only" no longer a mount option means this edge case cannot
occur.
