Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix handling mount -o remount,nolazytime
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2020 12:19:52 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <158210399258.5335.3994877510070204710.stgit@buzz> (raw)
Tool "mount" from util-linux >= 2.27 knows about flag MS_LAZYTIME and
handles options "lazytime" and "nolazytime" as fs-independent.
For ext4 it works for enabling lazytime: mount(MS_REMOUNT | MS_LAZYTIME),
but does not work for disabling: mount(MS_REMOUNT).
Currently ext4 has performance issue in lazytime implementation caused by
contention around inode_hash_lock in ext4_update_other_inodes_time().
Fortunately lazytime still could be disabled without unmounting by passing
"nolazytime" as fs-specific mount option: mount(MS_REMOUNT, "nolazytime").
But modern versions of tool "mount" cannot do that.
This patch fixes remount for modern tool and keeps backward compatibility.
Fixes: a2fd66d069d8 ("ext4: set lazytime on remount if MS_LAZYTIME is set by mount")
