Subject: [PATCH] ext2: don't mount filesystems with compat features we know only ext4 supports
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 15:36:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150928223626.GI10390@birch.djwong.org> (raw)
The ext2 mount code never checks the compat features against the ones
it knows about. This is correct behavior since compat features are
supposed to be rw-compatible with old drivers; however, for certain
configurations (journalled rootfs) we probably want the ext4 driver
to load, not ext2.
