Subject: [PATCH] inode: For readonly filesystem, func file_update_time should return -EROFS rather than zero.
Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:26:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201310151125581359520@gmail.com> (raw)

For ext2 mounted with errors=remount-ro, if write a file and because the
harddisk error, the fs became ro.But the following test can't return.

int main()
{
	int ret;
	int i = 0;
	char buff[SIZE];
	int fd = open("/opt/test", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT);

	if (fd < 0) {
		printf("open error %s\n", strerror(errno));
		return errno;
	}

	ret = write(fd, buff, SIZE);
	lseek(fd, 0, 0);

	while (1) {
		ret = write(fd, buff, SIZE);
		if (ret < 0) {
			printf("write error %s\n", strerror(errno));
			break;
		}
		lseek(fd, 0, 0);
		i++;
	}
	printf("write count=%d\n", i);
	close(fd);

	return 0;
}

For ext3/ext4, because jbd the test can return. But for ext2, because no
jbd and not reading bitmap from harddisk, the test continue.

So we should add check readonly-fs on write-path. Func file_update_time
already check the readonly flag,but it can't return -EROFS.
For readonly-fs, it can't update a/c/m time of file,it should return
-EROFS rather than zero.
