            Summary: xfs filesystem exported via nfs don't work in 2.6.27.3
            Product: File System
            Version: 2.5
      KernelVersion: 2.6.27.3
           Platform: All
         OS/Version: Linux

         ReportedBy: francois.valenduc@tvcablenet.be


Latest working kernel version: 2.6.27.2
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.27.3
Distribution: Gentoo

Problem Description:

With kernel 2.6.27.3, it's impossible to use a xfs filesystem  exported via
NFS. I am using gentoo and I share a portage tree mounted on an xfs 
filesystem
via NFS. Each time packages are fetched, the emerge process is blocked. It
seems the problematic commit is the following:

commit c068663ae65e507814545b59a8e2090f48a85613

     xfs: fix remount rw with unrecognized options

     commit 6c5e51dae2c37127e00be392f40842e08077e96a upstream

     When we skip unrecognized options in xfs_fs_remount we should just 
break
     out of the switch and not return because otherwise we may skip clearing
     the xfs-internal read-only flag.  This will only show up on some
     operations like touch because most read-only checks are done by the VFS
     which thinks this filesystem is r/w.  Eventually we should replace the
     XFS read-only flag with a helper that always checks the VFS flag to 
make
     sure they can never get out of sync.

     Bug reported and fix verified by Marcel Beister on #xfs.
     Bug fix verified by updated xfstests/189.

If I revert it, the problem doesn't occur.
