[PATCH 3/3] xfstests: generic/235 breaks /etc/mtab symlinks breaks xfs/189

[Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Serenity lost.
Insanity looms darkly.
/etc/mtab

Random behaviour.
xfs/189 fails
After a week passing.

-SCRATCH_DEV on SCRATCH_MNT type xfs (ro,filestreams)
+SCRATCH_DEV on SCRATCH_MNT type xfs (ro,relatime,attr2,filestreams,inode64,noquota)

Confusion prevails.
/proc/mounts can never give success.
Anything but golden.

ls -l
/etc/mtab shows:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May  8 16:05 /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts

symlink modified.
Stealth. Deception. WTF?
Ninjas go unseen.

"git grep mtab". Yay!
generic/235: sad
SElinux hack.

Remount context grot.
Mount uses all options from
/etc/mtab

Kernel rejects mount.
sed hacks /etc/mtab
Symlink becomes file.

Test frobulation.
xfs/189 passes
Randomness tamed.

Double face-palm. Tears.
Crack-inspired insanity.
mount(8) needs fixing.

Schizophrenia.
/etc/mtab. Same thing.
Test psychiatry.

Hack, slash, glue, polish.
xfs/189 fixed.
Made shiny again.

 # Test remount behaviour
 # Initial motivation was for pv#985710 and pv#983964
 #
+# mount(8) adds all options from mtab and fstab to the mount command line.  So
+# the filesystem either must not reject any option at all if it can't change it,
+# or compare the value on the command line to the existing state and only reject
+# it if it would change something that can't be changed.
+#
+# Test this behaviour by mounting a filesystem read-only with a non- default
+# option and then try to remount it rw.
+#
+# note that mount(8) doesn't add the options when specifying both the device
+# node and mount point, so test out the various mounting alternatives
+#
+# <---- Bbbzzzzzzztttt ---->
+#
+# Right, but the kernel /proc/mounts output in no way reflects what mount passes
+# into the kernel, so the entire assumption of this test that what mount outputs
+# is the same as what it inputs is completely wrong.
+#
+# Hence the test now checks to see if the expected options are in the mount
+# options in /etc/mtab rather than looking for an exact match. Hence the tests
+# check what we know should change, not what mount thinks has changed. As a
+# result, the test now passes regardless of whether mount or the kernel controls
+# the contents of /etc/mtab....
+#
