Subject: [PATCH 03/39] VFS: Add read-only users count to superblock
Date: Sun, 8 Aug 2010 11:52:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1281282776-5447-4-git-send-email-vaurora@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1281282776-5447-1-git-send-email-vaurora@redhat.com>
While we can check if a file system is currently read-only, we can't
guarantee that it will stay read-only. The file system can be
remounted read-write at any time; it's also conceivable that a file
system can be mounted a second time and converted to read-write if the
underlying fs allows it. This is a problem for union mounts, which
require the underlying file system be read-only. Add a read-only
users count and don't allow remounts to change the file system to
read-write or read-write mounts if there are any read-only users.
